Rehearsing mental maths

Today we have been rehearsing our mental maths strategies. We played a range of games to support our learning. Here are some pictures of what we've been doing today!

You can play these at home too!

We played mental maths twister! We were given questions such as 'Put your foot on a 2 digit number' 'Put your hand on a number in the 3 times table'

We played dominoes. We quickly had to identify unusual representations of numbers!

We created our own 100 number square. Some of the numbers were missing so we had to create our own cards.
