As part of our recent activities based on National Maths Week, we talked to the children about why we need numbers. Here are a few of their ideas.
Brooke: you have numbers on buses so you know where you’re going to and what one to go on.
Imoen: the postman needs to know your number.
Olivia B.: we have clocks with numbers so we can see what time it is.
Matthew: I’ve got a new letter box with a number.
Enid: I’ve got a number on my door so people know where you live.
Patrick: you have signs on the road with letters and numbers to show you where to go.
Louie: you need numbers to count.
Olivia H.: there’s numbers on a clock.
James: you need a number on your shirt to say what team you’re in to play rugby.
Cali: my door is number three.
We hope that everyone is keeping an eye out for numbers when they are out and about with their families. I wonder how many other places you can find numbers?
