Numeracy Grid 1 – Mild Challenge – More Double Numbers

2 Comments

Paint double numbers

Have fun exploring double numbers with paint dots.

I made a rainbow by starting with 7 dots and using the 7 different colours from the rainbow.

Would you like to dive into the learning pit?

Use the double facts you have remembered?

Have a go at investigating double numbers

This time start with an even amount

Think about which double number story you could make

I used 2 egg boxes to make ten frames

I found pompoms and baubles to make double number stories with.

I have also shown the number stories with numicon which I know very few of you would have at home but they help you to see the double number stories in your mind.

Start with even amounts to 10

Move onto even amounts to 20

Maybe some of you would challenge yourselves even further!

Literacy Grid 1 – Mild Challenge – Letter Formation – Down and Bounce Letter Family

Leave a comment

Good morning boys and girls,

I spent yesterday making some resources to help you with this mild challenge from Literacy Grid 1.

Letter Formation

Choose a family of letters to practise each day.

Watch the videos to help you form the letters

These resources help you learn to form the

Down and bounce family of letters

Think about a ball dropping down to the ground.

When it hits the ground it bounces back up and then often moves forward making an invisible rainbow line, curved line.

b h k m n p r

These letters always begin at the top, (a ball won’t bounce far if you don’t start with it up high);

with a straight line being drawn down.

The pencil travels back up the straight line;

and then the pencil is used to draw a curved line to the right, that line ends in different ways for the letters in this family.

Before you start to form your letters remember to warm up your hand by drawing curved lines – try drawing clouds and rainbows.

I have started a drawing that would help you practise these movements before you write letters from the down and bounce family. Click on the picture above to see a larger version for you to copy.

I wonder who might be holding the umbrella and have their feet in the boots?

A rainbow is drawn with curved lines

Clouds are a wonderful way to draw joined curved lines and this helps to improve fluidity.

Spirals could form puddles and lots of short diagonal lines can cover the page with rain. Zig zag lines could form grass.

Enjoy!

The videos in the Sway below show you how to write the the letters in this family.
