This week the children are learning about adding small numbers and different ways to make number sentences. Again don't be tempted to use big numbers. We used a 0-9 dice and the partition tree (circles diagram) The children are learning about the equals sign being in different places in the number sentences as well so I sometimes refer to it as the "is the same as" sign.   "3 is the same as 2+1" or 3=2+1 and 2+1=3
