This week, Year 2 have been busy exploring addition and subtraction using lots of practical resources. Tens frames have been especially helpful, letting the children see how numbers change when crossing a ten. For example, when working out 22 – 7, they discovered that the answer is no longer a “twenty-something” but a “teen” number — fifteen!
These hands-on activities have also helped strengthen their subitising skills. The children have had great fun using the resources, making their maths learning exciting, engaging and memorable!
