Our writing this week will be based around the book…

Maths

Over the next 2 weeks we will be focusing on addition and subtraction within 20. This week we will be:
-recapping addition and subtraction within 20 using concrete resources and a number line.
-looking at how known addition and subtraction facts within 10 can help us to know equivalent addition and subtraction facts within 20.
E.g. 2+3=5 so 12+3=15, 2+13=15, 3+12=15, 13+2=15
8-3=5 so 18-3=15
-finding the difference betwen 2 numbers and starting to link this with subtraction.
