Maths Learning - Week Beginning 27th April

This week we have been looking at multiplication and counting forwards and backwards in given multiples.  The children have really impressed me with their knowledge of counting on in 2s, 5s and 10s, but counting backwards has been a little bit more tricky!  The children have been practicing their 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables and using these facts to solve problems.  At home you could continue to learn these times tables facts by heart or practise counting backwards, some children find this really tricky especially over boundaries such as the 10s, 100s or 1000s.  For a challenge you could try counting backwards in 7s or 8s from a random number it's tricky!  Just to find out how tricky try saying a nursery rhyme backwards...
