This week the children have had their multiplication and division hats on in Maths! They have been revising the 2 Times Table and learning to recognise odd and even numbers. The activities involving doubling, halving and dividing objects and numbers by 2 all provide practical applications of these concepts, allowing the children to see how they can be used in real-life situations.
Engaging in hands-on activities is an effective way to promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By exploring different strategies, making connections and applying mathematical concepts in real-life situations, the children are actively developing their analytical skills and deepening their understanding of mathematical principles. These activities encourage children to think creatively and independently, fostering a sense of curiosity and exploration.
