DAILY – RMeasimaths – well done on all your hard work!
MENTAL MATHS – (remember to include 0 in your counting!)
Continue to reinforce skills already learning, i.e. rote counting forwards and backwards; counting forwards (in ones) from different starting points , eg. Start at 4 and count up to 14 etc; counting backwards (in ones) from different starting points, eg. Start at 18 and count back to 8 etc; adding 1 / adding 0 / adding 2 to numbers within 5, 10 / beyond. Remember to focus on the language ‘and’; ‘altogether makes’; ‘plus’; ‘1 more’; ‘equals’.
Answer these questions. You might want to draw pictures to help you to solve these problems. Remember when you draw, draw one item at a time and go back and count again. Every time you count, touch the item. E.g. 1, draw another item, count 1, 2, draw another item, count 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Seven geese are swimming in a pond. Five are big. How many are small?
- A farmer has three tractors. He buys one more and his brother gives him another one. How many tractors does he have altogether?
- There are five sheep in the field and two sheep in the barn. How many sheep altogether?
PRACTICAL – digit cards
ORDERING NUMBERS:
- Take out your digit cards from 1-20. Have a go at ordering your numbers forwards. At school, if we got stuck at ordering numbers we used our numberline or our counting skills. Example: ‘I’m not sure what number comes after 13 so count 1,2,3,4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, oh yes it's 14’.
- When you have done this, can you tell the person helping you what is:
- One more than 8, 14, 12?
- One less than 3, 6, and 11?
- How many tens and ones are in 11?
- How many tens and ones are 13?
- If you put your finger on the number 3, how many jumps would you need to get to 9?
- If you put your finger on the number 4, how many jumps would you need to get to 8?
- If you put your finger on the number 6, how many jumps would you need to get to get to 14?
- Try other numbers if you wish. Even go beyond 20.
Next order your numbers from 20-1.
- If you put your finger on the number 19, how many jumps would you need to get back to 7?
- If you put your finger on the number 17, how many jumps would you need to get to back to 10?
- If you put your finger on the number 9, how many jumps would you need to get back to 2?
MAKING SETS - Continue to reinforce one to one correspondence
- Take out the numbers 10-20. Lay them out on the floor in front of you. Go on a hunt for different objects in your home or outside to count and match the number of objects to a number card, examples match the number 18 to 18 sweets, the number 19 to 19 pieces of pasta, the number 20 to 20 daisies. Go beyond 20 if you wish.
- Please remember to count and check - this is very important. Remember, at school when we count large amounts, we touch each object with our finger to make sure we are accurate.

ESTIMATION
Estimate means to have a guess. Remember to use the word ‘estimate’ when trying out the following activities.
1. Estimate how many squares you can draw in 1 minute. Have a sensible guess and write it down. Then an adult can time you drawing your squares for 1 minute When your time is up, count carefully how many times you have written your name and record the actual amount.
2. Estimate how many numbers you can write in 1 minute. Remember to record your estimate and then write your actual total.
