Year 2 Maths - amazing arrays!

-

Continuing our learning about multiplication and making links to repeated addition, Year 2 made arrays to represent different number sentences.

Did you know, arrays are all around us! Egg cartons, apps on our phones, chocolate bars...!

Nicole: 'An array has to be a square or rectangle shape.'

Benjamin: 'The rows have to be equal.'

Eva: 'You can count down or across to make different number sentences. 4 x 3 is the same as 3 x 4.'

Hannah: 'If you have 9 counters, you make different arrays. 3 x 3 or 1 x 9.'

This visual representation is a great way of seeing how multiplication works and making connections with known number facts... well done Year 2!

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
