We are going to be continuing to develop our understanding of the number system in Maths and for much of this term we will be focusing on Number - Place Value. One of our initial objectives in Year 1 will be consolidating our knowledge of number binds to 5 and 10. Our first maths focus in Year 2 is counting in 10s in Year 2 and developing from 2 digit numbers to 3 digit numbers. We will work a lot on this in class but it would be great if you could practise these at home too.
