Addition and Subtraction First, we begin with fun practical activities. You have 2 sweets. I give you 1 more. How many do you have altogether? You have 4 pencils. I take one away. How many pencils do you have left?
Addition and Subtraction Then, we learn how to write it as a number sentence. 2 + 1 = 3 4 - 1 = 3
Addition and subtraction Have a go! 8 + 7 = We always remind the children to count the jumps not the numbers!
Multiplication First, we begin with fun practical activities. I have 5 friends coming to a party and each friend needs 2 slices of pizza for dinner. How many slices do I need?
Division First, we begin with fun practical activities. I have 8 cookies and need to share them with my friend. How many cookies do we get each?
