P1- Teen Number Focussed Play Tasks
We have been learning all about teen numbers in numeracy and now that we are getting more confident with this, we have had the opportunity to extend and apply our learning in play using these 8 fun activities.
P1- Batty About Teen Numbers
In numeracy we have been focusing on learning about the family of ‘teen numbers’. These have 2 digits and the first is always a ‘1’. This ‘1’ means it has ‘1 group of ten’ and this is very important to remember. The other digit tells us how many more! For example 15 has 1 group of ten and 5 more. To help with this we took part in a batty number challenge- each bat had a teen number on its tummy and we had to add he correct numicon tiles and pom-poms to show the number in a visual way and check our thinking.
P1 – Numeral formation
We loved using the foam to play with and write our numbers in, trying hard to remember how to form these correctly. We even matched the numicon tile to the numeral and wrote our names so as everyone knew which lovely work was ours.
It’s was a messy job but lots of fun!
Buddy Numeracy
Whilst at ‘Play in a Pod’ we saved a little time to show our big buddies some of our numeracy learning and numicon games. We are learning to build our numicon number lines and to spot the missing tile! We can even remember the magic trick to pack the little boxes properly by matching up the special friends who add together to make 10 from opposite ends of the number line! Ask us to see if we can remember!!! 
Some learning together
We are learning to work and play independently, in pairs and small groups. Here we are working on a sounds game, playing numicon bingo, trying some fine motor tasks and getting creative with our loose parts station all in one school day…busy and happy learners!
