Rather than reading out numbers, read out clues linked to the place value. E.g. for 47 say the ones is a 7 and the tens digit can be said as forty. Can your child recognise the number and cross it off?

Thursday 

Get your child to show that they can recognise the representation of a number by playing Place Value Basketball. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/place-value-basketball

Maths activities for the week:

Monday

Number Ping Pong 

Play ‘ping pong’ to practise complements with your child. You say a number. They reply with how much more is needed to make 10. You can also play this game with numbers totalling 20, 100 or 1000. Encourage your child to answer quickly, without counting or using fingers.

Play ‘guess my shape’. You think of a shape. Your child asks questions to try to identify it but you can only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (e.g. Does it have more than 4 corners? Does it have any curved sides?)

W.B. Monday 22nd June

Monday

Play ‘Catch’ with your child using a ball or anything else that can be thrown safely. Instead of counting in 1s each time the ball is caught, ask your child to only count every second, fifth or tenth catch.

Tuesday

Write the numbers 0 to 20 on a sheet of paper.

• Ask your child secretly to chose a number on the paper. Then ask them some questions to find out what the number is, e.g.

• Is is less than 10?

• Is it between 10 and 20?

• Does it have a 5 in it?

• Is it odd?

They may only answer yes or no.

• Once you have guessed the number, it is your turn to choose a number.

Your child asks the questions.

If you fancy a challenge, try numbers up to 100.
 

Wednesday

Start with your child’s age. Ask your child:

• How old will you be when you are 1 year older?

• How old were you last year?

• How old will you be 2/5/10 years from now?

Repeat with the ages of different relatives.

Thursday

Label 21 empty pots (e.g. yoghurt pots) 0-20.

• Children count the right number of beans into each pot. (other small objects could be substituted).

• When they are done ask your child to pour out each of the teen number jars and arrange the beans into a group of ten and then ones (units).

Friday 

During your daily walk see how many cones, cuboids, spheres and cylinders you can spot. Which did you see most of?

W.B. Monday 15th June

Tuesday

Today you can measure rooms in your house with your feet, make sure you go heel to toe when you walk around the room and count how many feet long the room is. Estimate which room is biggest and which is smallest. Count with your feet and see if you are correct.

Wednesday

On Monday you ordered vegetables according to their size. Today you can order them in their weight. If you made scales the other week you could reuse them, or hold them to see which are heavier and lighter. If you want to challenge yourself, write a sentence to go alongside this. E.g. "The carrot is heavier than the lettuce."

Thursday

Draw around your hands and feet and cut them out. See how tall you are in hands, then in feet. Are you the same in hands and feet? Why not? Measure someone else you live with, are they the same in hands and feet?

W.B. Monday 8th June

Fractions

Monday

Cut pieces of paper into different shapes or food that can be sliced, then work with your child to find half by cutting or drawing on the shapes or by slicing the food. Make sure both sides are equal and if they aren't, talk about why it is not half. Repeat for finding a quarter.

Tuesday

Ask your child to watch these videos and complete the activities about what a fraction is and how a fraction should be written.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z3rbg82

Wednesday

Get a chocolate bar and work with your child on how it could be split into half, quarters and thirds. You could investigate whether the size of the chocolate bar affects how much they get. Does ½ always look the same?

Thursday

Your child could estimate and count the number of different plant types or insects that they can see/find in the garden. Record in a table.

Friday

Select an even number of some of your children’s toys (e.g. toy cars, marbles). Work with your child on splitting the total amount in half by sharing out into 2 piles. Repeat this to find a quarter but share the amount into four piles.

Tuesday

Look at the tins/cartons of food in your cupboards. Discuss with an adult which ones are cylinders, which are cubes and which are cuboids. Sort them into groups. Which 3D shape do you think makes the best packaging and why? You could write this as a sentence using 'because' to explain why.

Wednesday 

Subtracting on a number line. Make a number line in your house or garden. You can use anything round the house for this, such as tape for your line and paper for your numbers. Ask an adult to say a subtraction number sentence. Start on the first number and jump back to see what the answer is! 

Thursday

Subtraction board game. Can you draw your very own subtraction board game? You can use big or small numbers depending on how much you would like to challenge yourself. Maybe you could play with an adult or sibling.

Does it have a 5 in it?

Swap over afterwards and you can ask them questions. 

Tuesday

Directions

Place an object on the floor. Can you give someone else in your house directions to get to it? Think about positional language: forward, backward, left, right, up, down. When you have made it to the object you could swap over and they could give you directions. If you want to make it super tricky you could wear a blindfold (just be careful!)
