Fun with maths extras
I am re-posting this so that the children don’t have to scroll so far to get to it again. I have added a 100 square as we are now working with numbers up to 100. Also, we have been trying to read time to the hour – o’clock and half part, so I have included an interactive clock with draggable/ movable hands.. Can you count in tens up to 100? 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 … What comes next..?
