Today I was inspired by one of the many brilliant blog posts written in an ordinary life ( link later) she used lolly sticks to support her children consolidating and practising their knowledge of times tables. I thought we could give this a go using the same idea and addition of the number square to support as well. They both enjoyed this and saw patterns. Even remained engaged for over an hour, we did the 3 and 5 times tables.
It was really helpful, when engaging Autumn, to use the mini characters we made out if fimo.
I'll definitely revisit this way of doing this. Autumn is now happily playing and organising the creatures on the 100 square.
looks great Beth
