During our Mastering Number sessions this week Y1 have been looking at the numbers 6-10 and learning about how these numbers are made up of '5 and a bit'. 
The children have used the dice frames and rekenreks to demonstrate these numbers then completed the sentence stems ___ is the whole, 5 is a part and ___ is a part or 5 needs ___ to make ___
For example
7 is the whole, 5 is a part and 2 is a part. 
Or
5 needs 2 to make 7. 
The children have gained a really good understanding of these numbers and have worked hard. Keep up the good work Year 1!
