Here are a few snapshots of their work to see what they’ve done so far before working on real circuits in class.
What do you think? What have you learnt?
Save the hard maths for last
We have moved on through the easy stuff in the first few weeks?? Our third session will be looking at fractions,decimals and percentages. Great fun!
And there is more maths
Having safely negotiated addition and subtraction we were ready to mve on to multiplication and division. I believe the parents attending the workshop were really enjoying maths- one of the main aims for the workshop! I wonder how well they know their times tables?
More workshop.
We were pleased to see Joy return for a second sitting. We obviously behaved well enough for her to come back. The subject under discussion for this week was subtraction and addition.
Maths workshop for parents.
With the help of Joy Hallswort from Stockport Family Learning group, parents at Tithe Barn are enjoying going back to school. We are looking at ways to help parents to understand the demands being made of the children with regard to work in maths.
