How many ways can we make 5?

We are learning the different ways we can add groups together to make 5.  

• We have been learning to join and split sets.   
• We have been working out how many more we might need to make a set of 5.  

We made towers with the maths cubes.  Our towers are 5 blocks high...   

We used 2 colours to show the different ways we can make 5...

two red blocks and three more blue blocks makes five.

two pink blocks and three more purple blocks makes five.

three red blocks and two more green blocks makes five.

five yellow blocks and no more blocks makes five.

two black blocks and three more brown blocks makes five.

Look at all the ways Pepper Jo can make block towers to five!
