Well, July is here and a massive WELL DONE if you are still slogging on with home learning!

Maths

Watch the video about fact families : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT2Wdo6g-Rw

Write the whole fact family (two addition and two subtraction) for each part whole model.

eg : 10 + 6 = 16

6 + 10 = 16

16 – 10 = 6

16 – 6 = 10

Challenge

Filp the calculation to make 4 more calculations

eg : 16 = 10 + 6

16 = 6 + 10

6 = 16 – 10

10 = 16 – 6
