The  circles and squares group have been revisiting their stories of numbers all last week.

It’s really important we explore and remember our stories of numbers with rapid recall as these form the foundations for addition and subtraction concepts we explore in First Level.

Have a look at some fun ways to explore these at home:

Basketball Bounce:

Bounce a basketball to each other. On each bounce of the ball say a story of a given number. Keep going until all stories have been said.

Speed Trial:

Roll a die. Time your child to see how quickly they can record all the stories of that number. Set a personal best and try to beat this.

Twintastic:

Say a story of a number. Challenge your child to state the twin of this story. E.g. 5 + 3 = 8 is a twin of 3 + 5 =8.
