## **Year 1 Sharks - Amazing Maths work ...**

#### What a fantastic start to the the autumn term!

The children in Year 1 Sharks are already becoming briliant mathmeticians. They have been securing their understanding of addition. They have learnt the language realted to addition, looked at number sentences written in different ways and then used objects to find the total.

                                                                    ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/Year%201%20Sharks%202016%20-%202017/IMG_3089%5B1%5D.JPG)

Using their knowlledge of addition, we then learnt abut money. They were fantastic at making amounts of money not just with pennies but adding other coins together too. One boy showed he understood the value of coins perfectly by saying" i can make the amount in 2ps by counting in 2's. Amazing problem solving skills!
