We use a maths mastery programme to help with our teaching of maths. Please read here for weekly updates about mastering number.
17th - 21st March- Composition
This week the children will consolidate their understanding of the composition of numbers by investigating the numbers within 7. Composing and de-composing numbers involves the children investigating part-part-whole relations, for example, seeing that 7 can be made of 5 and 2. The children will deepen their understanding of a whole being made up of smaller parts and will begin to recognise that numbers can be made by combining parts in different ways. A key focus will be on partitioning 7 (splitting into different parts) and thinking about the missing part.
