Good morning boys and girls. Today we are going to make handprint number lines. You will need…
Paper, scissors, pens, pencils or paint if you wish.
First of all, we are going to start by drawing around our hands 5 or 10 times depending on how large you want to make your number line, then we can decorate the hands whatever way you wish, pens, crayons or paint.
Next with help from your adult, we can start to carefully cut them out.
Once you have cut out your hands you can write your numbers in the centre, 0-5 0-10 or even higher if you want a challenge.
Once complete you can make your own number line.
You can also use your hands to measure items in the house, eg how many hands high is your sibling or mummy? Who has the biggest hands in the house?
If you don’t want to do hands you can make your number line with whatever you want use, eg shapes, trains, teddies, cars, tins from the cupboard.
If you wish to extend it, you could look for the numbers in your number line outside in the community. Can you see them on signs, registrations plates, wheelie bins?
Have fun and only do what you are comfortable with.
- How many hands have you drawn?
- How many numbers can you recognise and name?
- Can you order the numbers correctly?
- Who helped you with the scissors?
Other curricular areas
Numeracy – matching, ordering, number recognition, language of measurement.
Literacy- listening to and following instruction, number formation, discussing topic with others.
HWB- strengthening fine motor skills through pencil and scissor control, looking for number and shape within the community.
