Maths
Challenges and speed competitions using rolling dice are being used to beat our partner with our times tables knowledge. We are also using teens multiplications. We are using martial arts (with sound effects) to work out rounding numbers: What could it be? What is half way? Is it more than or equal to? Or is it less than or equal to? We have been exploring rounding to the nearest 1,000, 10,000 & 100,000. Mr Silvester likes us to be very precise when we explain it.
