This term our focus is on multiplication - and grouping numbers to work things out. We learnt today that multiplication means "groups of". So . . . three groups of two is the same as 3x2. By the look of some faces the whole ideas of "doing multiplication" is a big deal and maybe a little scary.
First off I need the children to be able to skip count quickly and automatically in twos to 20, fives to fifty and tens to one hundred. So if you are looking for anything extra to practise that would be the thing to focus on at the moment. If they have it sorted forwards see if they can do it backwards.
