This week, we have been learning about grouping and sharing, which are key early maths skills.

The children explored how to:

• Make equal groups from a number (for example, putting 12 objects into groups of 3)
• Share amounts fairly between a number of groups or people (for example, sharing 10 items between 2 people)

Through these activities, the children are beginning to understand the early ideas of multiplication (grouping) and division (sharing) in a practical, hands-on way.

You can support this learning at home by:

• Encouraging your child to group toys, snacks, or objects into equal sets
• Asking simple questions like, “Can we share these equally?” or “How many are in each group?”

It has been lovely to see the children building confidence using numbers in real-life situations!
