Multiplication!
You can say...
2 add 2 add 2
3 lots of 2
3 groups of 2
3 times 2
3 multiplied 2
....but every time 3x2=6.
We then tried multiplying using ourselves! Can you work out the sums we were making?
We share and we care....even in maths lessons!
We started by sharing out the cubes. Has Lulu shared the cubes correctly? Is it fair? Can you work out which photo is correct?
(By the way, Lulu was brilliant at 'caring and sharing' so we had to fake these photos!)
2 more....2 less!
Some of the children worked out the answer by adding or taking away using dots or counters.
Some counted on or back using their fingers.
Some hopped on or back using a number line or a 100 square.
Some just knew the answer in their heads!
