Subtracting actvities

 This morning, we have been consolidating our learning in Maths. The children rotated round different activities, practicing taking away in lots of different ways.

Here are some of the activities the Bears have been doing.

Squashing play dough to work out the answer


Using Bears to solve subtracting problems


Building towers and turning over cards to find out how many to take away


Singing '5 currant buns in a bakers shop' using a puppet 



Putting bricks on a number line and rolling a dice to see how many to take away

Writing new problems for our friends to work out


Threading beads onto string and taking away a number of beads


It was great to see the children working really hard together, helping one another to complete the tasks.
