Maths - week starting 7th December 2009

This week we shall be completing our focus on doubling and halving in relation to multiplication. We shall then introduce the grid method for multiplication. This is a really great written strategy to help you prepare for the more formal written methods used. Ask your child to show you the grid method. You may also like to follow this link for a more detailed explanation of this method: http://www.mad4maths.com/math_help_multiplication/

Homework - due date Friday 11th December
This homework will be given on Wednesday. The task is to cut out and decorate their own personal tables cards (these will be provided for the class). These cards then need to be plastified, for Friday if possible.
