Year 1

LQ: How can I compare number sentences?

Today we are going to compare different number sentences using... 'less than', 'greater than' and 'equal to'. We can show this using the inequality symbols too... <  less than, > greater than and = equal to.

*Remember, the 'greedy crocodile' always wants eat the bigger number/amount.

Year 2 

This is the last lesson that we will be recapping our learning from Year 1. 

Today we are looking at arrays.

We can make arrays by making equal groups and building them up in columns and rows. 

What is the difference between columns and rows? 

Can you make your own arrays at home using objects around your home?

You could use lego, beads, counters, money or toys.

Revise contractions  they have met before; I’m, she’s, it’s. 

 is, is not, isn't  (The meaning has been changed to the opposite).

Explain how the words are pushed together and the apostrophe shows where the ‘o’ is left out. Can they think of a sentence containing isn’t ? 

Practise: 

 are not, aren't, was not, wasn't, were not, weren't 

Match the words with the contractions. What happens to the word when it is contracted? (The words are joined together and the o is left out.)
