Maths - booklet and online
This week, we will begin really mastering our times tables. In class we have gone over the 2x tables and their link to doubles sums eg 6 x 2 is the same as 2 x 6 which is also the same as 6+6. It is so important with times tables. not simply to learn hem off by heart but to understand them and be able to represent them. We did it with square counters so we can visualise the twos.
Homework this week is the following:
Watch our Percy Parker song below and sing along!
Make sure you understand them by making various sums given by your parents eg if mum gives you 5 x 2 - make it with shoes, sweets, cups etc Put them in rows and columns like we did in class. This is an array.
Practise your 2x tables using the booklet I provided. You do not need to bring this back into school but it is important you complete it.
Go on TTRockstars - it is set for the 2’s.
