Students immerse themselves in a mini beast’s world they explored addition and subtraction concepts. They represent and interpreted data to help two very Hungry Spiders organise a food diary |
Number fact blast off
Students explore the wonders of space as they work collaboratively to sort, classify, match and calculate number facts to 20 How does your garden grow? Students explore and apply concepts of skip counting, measuring length, 2D shape and sharing equally while they plan a small vegetable garden. |
