Practice Makes perfect

Our P2 pupils visited Numer Nut, http://www.numbernut.com/basic/activities/add_quiz_3nocarry-v.shtml to practise their addition of 3 digit numbers(without carrying over). Click on start quiz to begin. Pupils remember to show your workings on a piece of paper.
Parents do allow your child to continue practising at home.
It's more fun and interesting than the assessment books although it's the same thing.....

Math Starts at Home.....

The importance placed on learning and enjoying the process of learning math concepts begins at home. As busy adults, we tend to look to our educational institutes to foster the love and understanding of math concepts, but this is not enough. Children need to see that we are willing to participate in learning situations and show the same aptitudes and learning issues that they will show in their experiences. The trick is to make the activity fun and family-focused.
The solution: Family Math Night.Family Math night requires some organization and a healthy dose of fun with the family. This exercise gives the parent and child a risk free environment in which to experience math activities while allowing the parents to see how something fun can also be concept building and educational .Most importantly, children have an opportunity to see that their parents value mathematics while the parents gain insight into your mathematics program. There is nothing like a chance to dispel the idea that interests and aptitudes are determined by the gene pool, i.e., Mom does not like Math so this will be the same for her daughter.
