Using Numicon
We have been using the Numicon pegs, Numicon plates and Numicon rods to help us do addition. We know that we could use a range of things to help us, such as bead strings, 100 squares, counting objects, using our fingers. and numberlines.
We know that when we use these resources it helps us to get the answer right, but we can also do a subtraction to check our answer.
This Smartnote book has some pages that we looked at before we worked with the
Numicon.Pictures from Harewood car show.
Harewood car show has given me lots of super car shots!
Look for the number on the number plates - 1, 2 and 3 digit numbers.
Look for the symmetry in car designs.
Look for the multiples of 10 on the speedometers.
Tim's photographs are superb photographs - but theres still lots of maths! How many wheels in the row of cars, or on the stunt motorbikes?
Enjoy! Enjoy maths!
