Numeracy WB 17.05.10

In numeracy this week we shall be using numberlines and number squares to add and to take away from larger numbers up to 100. It would be helpful if you could practise adding and taking away 10 from any given number. Help them to see that by adding 10 you are effectively changing the tens digit of the number and keeping the units the same.

If they understand this they can move on to add in 11 (by adding 10 and then one more) and adding 9 ( by adding ten and taking one away):

There are some number games on the "Number Square Games" link that are useful for this or click on the links below.

Counting backwards in 10s on a numberline.

Spanish Links

Where possible this week I have tried to link the spelling words to an online Spanish dictionary so you can easily check the meaning of the words if you are unsure. Some words in english are ambiguous  (e.g. tear can be pronounced more than one way and so mean una lágrima or the verb desgarrar) I have left these ones out.


Please let me know how useful this is to you. I will do my best (time permitting) to continue this in future.


Many thanks,


Mr Lewis
