Working with your study buddy!

6J have been making use of the study buddy system to develop their understanding of decimals. This system works by allowing children who aren’t too confident in maths to work with someone who is more confident and therefore able to provide some peer help to them. The system worked well today and and the children were all able to solve the problems presented to them.
