Maths
Maths - We will be starting the term by introducing the children to multiplication and division. During this unit we will learn to count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10 and work to share and group objects. We will be using a range of practical resources and images to support the children with this.

We will be moving onto learning about fractions and how a shape can be split into equal parts. We will teach the children to recognise the whole, half and quarter of a shape and how this can be represented in different ways.

We will then move on to finding half and a quarter of a quantity by sharing objects into equal groups.
