Maths IXL:

This week in Maths we have been focusing on the number 8 and countinued measuring. To consolidate their learning of counting, here are some IXL challenges for your child to have a go at. see this as an ongoing learning challenge and certainly not to be completed by next Thursday.

Ask your child to compare measurements at home by askings questions such as: who is taller/shorter? Which is longer/shorter? can you find me something which is longer than this, but shorter than this? Can you compare a few objects which is ? (longest/shortest/tallest/shortest)

How many different ways can you make 8? If I have 4 how many more do we need? Practise these stem sentences at home: 8 is made of ….. and …./ ….. and …. make 8. We have been really impressed with how quickly the children can work out the answers.
