Representing Number in Maths

The children enjoyed using a range of equipment to represent the numbers 10-15 today. We discussed how these numbers were made up of 10 and some more. Some of the children also discussed other ways of making the number drawing on their previous knowledge e.g 14 is:

10 + 4

10 + 3 + 1

10 + 2 + 2

We also found out that:

15 = 5 + 5 + 5

20 = 10 + 10

What super maths!
