2nd class Maths.

Hi Everyone,

I know there were some confused faces when we were explaining this concept last night so I found a few links for you to refer to.

We will be doing a lot of build up to this so it will be a while before you see them coming home doing the end process.

Regarding Maths, I can't emphasise enough the importance of practising their tables nightly. Please refer to the tables label on the blog for online games.

Maths in second class is very practical. To support this you could do some of the following-
Ask them the time (We are learning quarter past and quarter to)
Can they tell you the date it is by looking at a calendar?

Money- Get them to pay for items in the shop. Can they count the change?

Weight/Capacity- Ask them to read the capacity or weight of items when you are shopping. Can they recognise which item is lighter/Heavier in your shopping trolley by looking at the label?

Shapes- can they identify shapes in their environment?

If you are still confused about the subtraction please ask.

Denise :)
