This week
during Maths, we have been exploring the skill of skip counting. Today we
started skip counting by 10’s and we had a wonderful time discovering that if
we times a number by 10, all we needed to do was add a zero! (eg. 6 x 10 = 60).
We then sang some songs about counting in 10’s and then we felt confident
enough to have a go at ordering numbers by 10….up to 100! We got so good at doing this that
we started from any point and was able to count up to 100 by 10’s.
If you
would like to do some practise at home, I have uploaded a google doc with flash
cards of 2’s, 5’s and 10’s that you can cut out and order at home. This is a
great way for your child to consolidate some of the Maths we have been doing in
class and relates directly to the to the Year One Western Australian Curriculum outcome
within the Number and Algebra strand:
Develop confidence
with number sequences to and from 100 by ones from any starting point. Skip
count by twos, fives and tens starting from zero(ACMNA012)
I have also
included the song we have sung in class if you would like to be involved in the
singing side of things (definitely not my forte!).
Thank you
to all those who have put their names down for parent interviews, If you haven’t
or can’t make it in please email me.
