Good morning boys and girls.<\/p>\n
I hope you are staying safe and well with your families.<\/p>\n
Here are some ideas to develop your numeracy skills:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
2) Cook something. Ask an adult to let you measure ingredients, estimate which size pan or bowl you’ll need and set the timer.<\/p>\n
3) Board games like Snakes & Ladders, dominoes or Uno are great for recognising numerals, counting out moves and taking turns.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
5) Make a necklace. Use beads, pasta, plastic straws. Making patterns with shapes or colours.<\/p>\n
Have fun while you’re learning new numeracy skills! I would love to see some photos of what you’ve been learning!<\/p>\n
