Inverse maths in Crew MI
We have been working really hard to understand out fact families and how addition and subtraction are the inverse of each other. We used our special whiteboard to help us to understand the relationship between numbers. Finally we even played a game and created our own fact families.
Taking away ➖
This week Crew Marsh have been working hard on taking away, I have been so impressed with how quickly we have picked up the method!
What makes Magic Maths magic?🪄✖️
In our first magic maths session a child posed the question ‘what makes Magic Maths magic?’ The magic is that all the bits we keep forgetting in maths and arithmetic lessons and consolidated in Magic Maths and when we keep drip feeding it in… Abracadabra! We remember!
Based on gaps in our baseline assessment we focused on squared and cubed numbers and ordering decimal numbers. We will keep consolidating this so it stays in our long term memory!
Place value
In Crew MI, we have been working really hard on our place value knowledge. We used the base ten and counters to create 3 digit numbers. We now understand the value of each of these digits.
Maths in action ➕

Magic maths ➕
In maths today we got used to what our magic maths learning looked liked. I was blown away with how much the children achieved with their adding skills. Well done!
