This week in Year 1, our young mathematicians have been busy consolidating their learning by using addition facts to deepen their understanding of subtraction. The children explored this concept through a variety of engaging resources, including Unifix cubes, rekenreks, and whiteboards.

It has been wonderful to see their curiosity and confidence grow as they discovered different ways to “find a part” in numbers.
