P3GM are on a Numeracy Journey….🏎️🚗

20th Feb 2026

Today we started our adding tens and ones with carrying over journey.We set up lots of practical activities and, although we are not all there yet, we are off to a flying start🙌. 

We established the following facts:

We always start adding in the ones column

9 or less in the ones column we don’t need to carry over or exchange for a ten


When the numbers in the ones column add up to more than 10 , we have to exchange 10 of the ones for a tens rod


We have to be very careful to remember to add the ten we carry over


It is vital to keep all of the numbers in the correct ✅ column


And so our journey continues with this important life skill.
