We are googly about googly eyed learning in Year 1.

Would you believe that you can use googly eyes for more than just googly eyed faces?  This week, Year 1 discovered that you can do maths (!!!) using these jiggly critters!

After becoming pretty successful at addition and subtraction equations, Year 1 upped their game and began to look at multiplication! We first began rote counting in 10s, then realising we were pretty good at that, progressed to 5s then after that we rocketed to counting in 2s!  Now, when it came to solving multiplication equations and  word problems, we discovered that googly eyes come in pairs…what better resource is there to help us work out two times table questions?
Well, there is not stopping us now! The Year 1s are googly for multiplication equations and love to pair up the eyes, often adding eyelashes, eyebrows and even a smiley face.  Creative and practical learning is what we’re all about in Year 1, so if you need some help with your timetables come on down and we’ll show you how it’s done!  Don’t forget your googly eyes though!
