Tuesday

To be able to subtract using number bonds.

My friend said that to find how many are not adults, you need to take away the elephants that are adults. Is this true? How can we do that?

What would it look like using a part-whole method?

What would it look like as a number sentence?

Partner work:

Your teacher will read a sentence and you work together to represent it using cubes and your whiteboards.

Sam has 8 books on his shelf. He takes one off to read at bedtime. How many are left on the shelf?

There are 7 pupils in the line for lunch. 4 have cardigans on, the rest are wearing jumpers. How many children are wearing jumpers?

Maths (Adaptive teaching)

Start by asking them to stand in a line next to each other. How many boys are in the group? How can we show this on paper? Model drawing all children (girls/boys) and the crossing out method. Talk through the process at each step. "We have .... in total, so this is our whole number. We have ... girls and ... boys- these are our parts. We are only interested in the number of boys so we can cross out all the girls. We should be left with just boys in our picture so this will be the answer to the problem. What would this look like as a number sentence?" Remember to explain out loud each step.

Repeat again if necessary using uniform/glasses/etc.

Instead of using small world animals, can children use counters to represent this problem? Model counting the whole number of elephants. Tell them 'red' can be used for the adults and 'blue' for the calves. Model using circles on the whiteboard to represent this, using the crossing out method. Children to follow model on their own whiteboard.

Grammar 

To separate words with finger spaces. 

What do you notice about my sentences?

Recognise and join in with language patterns and repetition.

Listen to your teacher read the poem.

Listen again and think about the questions below. 

Talk to your partner about the answer to each question.

Does it rhyme?

Does it tell a story?

What words/phrases do you like in it? 

We are going to split the poem into sections, practice reading our section with our table and read it as a class.
