Number patterns day 1!
We are a bit late getting started on this - had it planned for days but for some reason or another just didn't get round to it!
Anyway, today, we got going. I just have to say before I start, that I gather my ideas for maths lessons from various resources but we do (mostly!) follow the Year 7 curriculum and I have a Letts textbook which I use to see what we should be covering (like the number patterns!) We also, as you know, use the Conquer Maths for some online practice also.
Today, we started with the idea of a restaurant and tables - one table seats 4 customers so how many customers could you sit at 2 tables or 3 or 4 and so on......
Rosie used paper squares as a manipulative (we get through soooo much paper in this house!) and then created a table in a little match-book to hold her results. Eventually, all the little booklets she makes on this topic will be stuck together into 1 big book.
Tomorrow, we're going to expand this concept and look at what happens if the restaurant pushes tables together :)
