Mental Maths P1SM 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣

14th Nov 2025
We have been working hard on ordering numbers and understanding Mathematical language such as before, after, more, less and missing number. 

During Mental Maths, we ordered digest cards from 1-10 and played a game with our partner where they took a digit away and we had to tell them which number was missing. 

We then talked about our strategy for finding out the missing number. Some of us started at 1 and counted forwards until we got to the missing number and some of us looked at the gap in the number line and the numbers that came before and after.
