Today they have been practising subtracting with and without exchanging. They used base 10 and wrote on the tables to help them grasp the tricky concept of exchanging. They then moved on to their times tables and practised writing these. Finally they finished with a good dance and sing to help embed their growing understanding. Fabulous work year 2!
