Magnificent Maths!

Hedgehogs have worked super hard in maths this week. We have had to use a lot of brain power to learn a new strategy. Year Two has been working on adding and subtracting two digit numbers together. We discovered that a number line is not the best for these big numbers! So, we discovered column addition and column subtraction. Hedgehogs had a lesson on using resources to find the answer. Then they use representations of tens and ones to find the numbers. Finally, we wrote numbers to work out the number sentences. Year Two were excellent at getting the hang of this strategy and answered a range of number sentences. We sure do have some magnificent mathematicians in our class. Well done Hedgehogs. Super proud of you!
