June 23rd 2015 - Maths makes sense (2)
Well sort of but mainly not!
No i've not gone completely mad and re-pinned the same thing without realising. Today was the Maths makes sense for parents of year 1 children. Today's lesson made abit more sense than yesterdays but I am still none the wiser why they have changed a system that has worked for many years.
23 - TWENTY THREE (do you agree???) Well it was when I went to school - not anymore it is now TWO-ty THREE, and the rest of the TWENTY numbers are also TWO-ty now, and the 30's, 40,s etc have also changed! I'm glad we didn't stay on these for long as seems very confusing to me. But apparently children understand and learn it better.
We spent most of the lesson talking about coins and giving change and what coins add up to what sum etc. We played shops with pictures and coins and had to give the correct amount of change.
At least today we weren't standing up saying times tables!!!
