2SF's confidence and use of mathematical language shines through in their maths @ArkCurriculum lessons. Here is a short example of one of the children discussing fractions in a partner task.
Amazing work 2SF!

This is one of the most fascinating articles I've read about how experts scaffold learning for novices. It's a bit heavy, so I'm listing the 12 main findings.

How many ways can you find to show that 10 tens are equivalent to one hundred? Year 4 used their maths toolkits to explain their understanding of place value excellently this afternoon #readytoprogress #enquiry #ncetm

Thereās just great value in exploring the language of maths. Itās a great assessment tool too. The children enjoyed the activity and became intrigued. The lesson that followed was a success. Not surprising with Numicon!

Can we really teach all (and I mean ALL) children to read? Even the ones with severe and complex needs?
I explore this in my blog and reach an uncharacteristically energetic answer!
With thanks to @NancyYoung_ and @SusanGodsland

Numicon is such a versatile and simple resource to help us develop our numeracy skills. Here we were using them to check our doubling. We could also add a 10 block to then use our 10 facts to work out the value shown. #SaltounP123 #MathsWeekScot #numicon

In Year 3 we have been rotating Numicon shapes. Lots of discussion about direction and how much the shape rotates. #OUPPrimary #NUMICON

Today P1a read the story ā10 little dinosaursā š¦š¦ we were so good at counting forwards & backwards that we decided to use the storyš(& our imagination) to pretend that we had ten little dinosaurs to play with, counting them on & off the 10 @Numicon! @MathsScot @MathsStories

ā³3 tiles & 3 minsā³
Rearrange to make as many 3-digits numbers as you can (popular digit card qās)
Go deeper:
š”Combine tiles & leave 0 in a column: does it still have 3-digits?
š”What happens if you have more than 9 in one column?
š”Which has the greatest/smallest value? Why?

Weāve been working really hard on partitioning numbers and remembering the value of each of our digits. We tried 3 tiles, 3 mins @DavisonMiss (thank you!) as our starter today- children loved it and heard so many brilliant discussions. šš @StAnnesAncoats
