Year 2 Maths: Number Patterns

This week we have been looking at Number Patterns.

There are a number of singing, clapping and concentration games that rely on counting and patterns, you can read about some here.



This one relies more on singing - but it is still about remembering a pattern!

Year 4 Maths: Letters and Numbers

Today our group watched a segment of SBS TV's old show 'Letters and Numbers' - we even had a go at a few problems against the clock!



If you like these sort of Maths Problems you can buy activity books and the DVD here.

You can play your own game of Letters and Numbers online right here.

I am hoping we will attack a few problems each week!
