Great final 2 days at the @MathsRecoveryUK Developing Number Knowledge with 7-11 year olds. Really valuable learning, with lots to consider and take forward ๐๐ผ
Using Bar Modelling as a strategy for division at @CarlibarPS. Learners created qs w/dominoes, dice & raffle tix, chose size of dividend & whether to use Dienes based on confidence using the strategy - self evaluation, learner generated qs & widening knowledge of strategies ๐๐ผ
Dividing with fractions? So many ways to make sense of the problem! With a nice picture (thanks @MathigonOrg), the connections between pictorial and symbolic representations are so clear! #iteachmath#mtbos#hrcemath
Bar modelling with numberless word problems and an @openmiddle task that a learner had a creative solution for, enabling us to explore negative number addition with @CarlibarPS. Fab work ๐๐ผ
Place value with ten frames, counting using temporal patterns, Splat!, and a pesky bag that kept throwing out counters for subtraction with screens were all in a dayโs work for some pupils at @ThornliebankPS

Was a pleasure to welcome Ms Don to our school this morning. The children loved sharing their learned in literacy and numeracy, linked to the fabulous book bags from @scottishbktrust ๐ @NatalieDon_@scotgov
P7 @CarlibarPS had a look at the Kobon triangle task from the @ATMMathematics Proving Ground e-book. They demonstrated resilience and perseverance, which are really important skills to have as a learner and as a mathematician ๐๐ป
Exploring commutativity and extending knowledge of arrays into area model using a numberless word problem this morning at @CarlibarPS. Using arrays and area model help us visualise the multiplication process and support understanding of more sophisticated mental strategies ๐ง
