Good morning boys and girls.

I hope you are staying safe and well with your families.

Here are some ideas to develop your numeracy skills:

1) Do maths in the bath. Use measuring cups- see how many small cups it takes to fill a big cup. Talk about full/empty, some/more, heavy/light, half/quarter.

2) Cook something. Ask an adult to let you measure ingredients, estimate which size pan or bowl you’ll need and set the timer.

3) Board games like Snakes & Ladders, dominoes or Uno are great for recognising numerals, counting out moves and taking turns.

4) Go for a walk and talk about maths in the environment. How many sticks or flowers can you find? Can you line them up by size? Or group them by shape and colour.

5) Make a necklace. Use beads, pasta, plastic straws. Making patterns with shapes or colours.

Have fun while you’re learning new numeracy skills! I would love to see some photos of what you’ve been learning!
