This page is for our numeracy cross grouping class. We are year 5 & 6 students and we cross group for maths so that we work with other students that are at the same level as us. We are working at middle to upper Stage 6.


Last term we worked on place value, converting decimals into fractions and fractions into decimals. Last week we learnt a new addition strategy (which means a way to solve problems). The strategy we learnt was to solve problems like 22 + ____ = 101 by jumping up in 'tidy numbers' (numbers that end in a 0) and then subtracting a little number. Our challenge was to show how we would solve this problem using materials - we were not allowed to write down what we would do. This is how we did it!
