Number Knowledge

This term with Miss O'B we are learning about ALGEBRA.  A big part of algebra is number patterns, identifying a rule and being able to explain when the rule works.  The 'rule' is going to save us time eg, rather than needing to make a big long pattern, we can use the rule to determine how much of something we need to make it.

Some Number Knowledge we have had to brush up on includes squared and cubed numbers.  We have made these numbers with maths equipment so we have a picture in our mind of what a squared number looks like.  Our mission is to know our squared numbers all the way up to 12 squared.  Some clever cookies have also mastered their cubed numbers and some extremely clever cookies have asked for exponents eg, to the power of 6.

Do read our blogs to see our explanation and understanding of the Number Knowledge we are learning about!!!
