TGB: arrays
Starter.
Thinking back to what you learnt yesterday, complete the missing numbers.
5 x 2 = 5 + 5
4 x 4 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
3 x 6 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
7 x 2 = 7 + 7
2 x 9 = 2+ 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Can you make arrays for these equations?
5 x 2
3 x 6
10 x 2
4 x 3
3 x 3
Share your arrays with me to have a look at.

Here are the maths answers for today’s learning. Let me know how you got on.
TGB: comparing number sentences
Starter
13 + 7 = 20
14 + 6 = 20
20 – 8 = 12
20 – 19 = 1
14 + 6 = 20
19 + 1 = 20
10 + 10 = 20
Using the words greater than, less than or equal to, can you compare these number sentences? One has been done for you.
8 + 7 is greater than 7 + 6
10 + 3 is greater than 5 + 2
9 + 6 is equal to 6 + 9
8 + 8 is greater than 4 + 3
3 + 2 is less than 5 + 6
8 + 3 is less than 10 + 5
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Using the words greater than, less than or equal to, can you compare these number sentences? One has been done for you.
13 – 3 is less than 16 – 4
17 – 7 is equal to 15 – 5
3 – 2 is less than 9 – 7
18 – 2 is greater than 14 – 9
6 – 6 is equal to 8 – 8
19 – 5 is greater than 13 – 6
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Now we’re going to use the symbols <, > or = to compare number sentences. Have a go at these, one has been done for you.
10 + 6 > 12 + 2
5 + 5 < 9 + 7
7 + 6 > 3 + 3
11 + 4 = 2 + 13
7 + 7 < 8 + 8
1 + 6 = 6 + 1
Here are some questions for you to have a go at.
Now we’re going to use the symbols <, > or = to compare number sentences. Have a go at these, one has been done for you.
15 – 3 = 17 – 5
17 – 5 > 11 – 8
20 – 6 > 20 – 8
13 – 7 < 19 – 2
14 – 7 > 16 – 10
18 – 9 = 10 – 1
Challenge
Miss Lotysz has 16 sweets and eats seven of them. 16 – 7 = 9
Miss Lister has 17 sweets and eats eight of them. 17 – 8 = 9
Who has more sweets left? They both have the same amount of sweets left.
Explain your answer. 16 – 7 = 17 – 8
Extra Challenge
Miss Topliss is working out which symbol to use to compare the number sentences.
14 – 5 14 + 5
The missing symbol must be = because the numbers are the same on both sides.
Do you agree with Miss Topliss? No
Explain why. Subtracting an answer will make the number smaller.
Don’t forget to share any pictures of today’s learning with me, you never know they might feature on the blog.
Lots of you have been working out number bonds to 10 this week. Some of you have been spotting the patterns too.
Mia and Brooke have extended their learning on number bonds today and have worked out number bonds to 20. Well done girls.


Johnny has produced a fantastic diary entry for his English learning today. Well done Johnny!
