This morning in mathematics Year 2 were learning how to add three 1 digit numbers together. The Toucans were trying to use strategies to make it easier to calculate. They did this by recognising that some number sentences had doubles in them and some had number bonds to ten to help them find out the answer easier and more quickly. They were also practising putting the largest number in their head first and then counting on the smaller digits on their fingers to get their answer.
