Week 3 Learning Maths in Year 2

Dear Parents

In Maths rotations this week, we have been learning about Time (Telling the time using quarter to and quarter past) and Multiplication (building an array, understanding repeated addition and drawing groups of). However, the students were particularly drawn to Mrs Elliott's group as they were playing Time Bingo and had a great time being competitive to wanting to call out BINGO! Overall, they have shown great improvements with the application of these math concepts and are now more capable to talk about their learning.

 Learning to build an array using multi-link cubes.

Maths - Multiplication

WALT represent multiplication (repeated addition, groups and arrays)

Dear Parents

We found this easy resource to help you when you are supporting your child to learn multiplication over the next two weeks. The goal isn't to simply learn the 'times tables' but rather understand the thinking and problem solving behind the multiplication algorithm.

We are here to support you both and if there are any questions or concerns we are your best advocates to clarify them for you.

Your sincerely,

Mrs Lyons and Ms Eyears
