 We began the day with a warm up:

• Favourite numbers: compare and contrast.
• Greater than/less than
• Single/double digit numbers
• increase use of maths vocab
• include 3 digit numbers as a way of assessing (reading 3 dig numbers)

And explored some dice activities:

• 2 dice problem- with addition for junior students. Roll number and use equipment to make: groups, tens frames etc, PV equipment (intro to mult/div, PV)
• 2 dice multiplication- write as many as you know- affirms double and halving
• 6 sided dice problem- opposite sides equal 7.  "If you have 3 on one side what is on the other?"
