Muhsin has been learning his number formation and I have laminated sheets so he can practice daily. He sometimes writes ‘p’ instead of 9 but he perseveres and is writing and practicing his numbers daily, Muhsin can count to 80 and count back from 20 but not confidently this is something we will continue working on and practicing until he can grasp the concept. Muhsin can add and subtract 2 numbers to 20 but needs support at times, once guided and given reassurances he gets all his work done. Muhsin has a very good understanding of common signs in maths such as +=- he also uses different tools to do his calculations e.g. number blocks, numicons, counters, number line mats, fingers, and cubes.
