Hoping one day that we introduce multiplication to all chdn by exploring products, and finding ways we can split them up into equal parts.
It's what we at FunKey are advocating, and love it that @SticknSplit think the same! @Ms_Mathsteacher @MathsFin @louiseseeley @MrValencia24

This yr 1 class love Numberblocks & this little lady had a Numberblocks themed birthday party & then donated her homemade characters to the class! She wanted them all to enjoy them. Little gestures from little people make all the difference 😍

This question on 2023 SATS paper is clearly wrong @educationgovuk You cannot put a square number on the line. You’ve obviously realised this so have put an option in the mark scheme whereby children can cross out a part of the question. Every child deserves compensatory mark.

Making time to play with money is a great investment. £1, 10p and 1p coins are still my favourite way to tackle place value! 😀

#SATsweek is over, and primaries are facing the next statutory maths test #MTC

Look and learn!
If you haven't yet experienced the power of the colours and shapes on the 59 FunKey #timestables cards, then grab a pack for £10 or 6 packs for £50. bit.ly/3BhvWbn
Some kids need a different way of doing things. Visual cues and 15 games might be it.

If yellow is 1 and red is -1, what’s the value of the pattern?
How did you count?
