Learning Observed

Nisita has been working on upskilling herself in mathematical knowledge. This has involved playing a range of games with others in her maths group. In this photo, Nisita is using a range of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division strategies to reach a range of target numbers. She enjoys playing against her friends and enjoys it even more when she beats them! Nisita has a good grasp of doubling and halving which she used to good effect in this game. She is more confident adding numbers together and is growing in confidence when using a variety of the other three operations.
