Animals on the move
Sarah Machajewski
- Reading
- Read alongside the maths rather than treating the animal material as a separate topic. Pause at problems to talk through how place value helps with the calculation, then use the glossary or index to revisit terms.
- Themes
- Animal migration as a maths context: Migration examples and narratives provide real-life contexts for learning place value and working with three-digit addition and subtraction. The book presents animal migration as an informational setting for maths practice, rather than establishing a judgement about migration itself.
- Worth knowing
- The book connects animal migration to number work, bringing natural-world examples together with maths practice.
