Today we have been looking closely at the composition of each number. This afternoon, we took our activity outside for a spot of number representation hide and seek. The children each had to find a dot plate and recognise whether the amount shown was 4 or 5 dots. They then had to find a partner who had a dot plate which showed the same amount. All the children were brilliantly at recognising the amount and finding a partner. They then had great fun hiding their dot plates so their friends could try and find them. Brilliant number detective work Class 1!
