In Maths this week, the children used Unifix cubes to explore making numbers in equal groups. They created pictorial and worded examples such as three groups of four and five groups of two, using the cubes to build each calculation practically.

The children enjoyed using the resources to deepen their understanding of grouping and multiplication concepts.
