Learning Observed

Today Ella and her maths group were learning to add three numbers together with Mrs Hooker.  They did this by rolling three dice, then using the best strategy to add the three numbers together - either by first adding two numbers together to make ten, or by using their known basic facts to first add two numbers, then the remaining number. Ella was eager to identify the numbers and use her basic fact knowledge to calculate the answer.
