P1 Numeracy (Wk 4)

NUMERACY

DAILY – RMeasimaths – approximately 10-15 minutes.

NEW COLOUR – grey

• Look for grey things in your home / environment. Count how many grey things you find.
• Which colours do you need to make grey? Experiment with different colours of paint. If you know how to make grey, make enough to divide between two saucers. Use one to make different shades of light grey and the other to make different shades of dark grey. Answer these questions: What colours did you use to make grey? How did you make it lighter? How did you make it darker?

DAYS OF THE WEEK

• Say the days of the week every morning. Tell an adult which day it is every morning. Try to say: Yesterday was …… today is …… tomorrow will be. Click on the link below to join in with the days of the week song.

MENTAL MATHS – daily

• Rote counting forwards from 0-5 and 0-10, 0-15 / 0-20, 0-30 and beyond if you are confident.
• Rote count backwards from 5-0 / 10-0. Try 15-0, 20-0 etc. 
• FOCUS: Rote counting forwards and backwards in 1’s from different starting points within 10. If you are confident within 10 progress to within 15, then within 20 / 25 or beyond if you are successful. For example, start at 7 and count forwards to 11; start at 11 and count backwards to 2.
   

WORD PROBLEMS: Adding 1

Remember to focus on the vocabulary that is used. If you are not sure of the answers you could draw the cushions, dice patterns or use your cubes to help you to solve the problems.

• I went shopping and I bought 3 grey cushions. My sister bought 1 white cushion. How many cushions did we buy altogether?
• 6 add 1?
• 5 and 1 altogether makes?
• 1 and 1 more is?

NUMBER FOCUS: W.A.L.T. Recognise and write the number 7.
