 Each day in Maths we have a different Math starter that we explore.  Our focus this term is on Mental Computation so we are exploring all the different ways to use and manipulate numbers. Today we had a maths starter about a frog that was trapped in a hole and had to get out.  Josephine, Robert and Luca each shared their strategy and thinking to explain how they got their frogs out of the hole.
