Year 1 had so much fun playing the game “21” which Mr Richardson set for early work, as part of our celebration of International Day of Maths.

After this, children completed the NRICH problem “Coloured Squares”. Children were given six blank squares with a set of clues about which colour each square should be. Children had to work through the clues systematically, using practical squares to test out their ideas and make adjustments, before they coloured in their recording sheet. Children were asked to explain and justify their final answer using the language of reasoning.

The children really enjoyed a slightly different approach to maths last week; well done Year 1!
