For each number they ‘take 5’ from it and record the question and answer in an appropriate way, drawing pictures or in figures, e.g. 17 take 5 leaves 12. Encourage them to organise the questions and answers into an order, such as starting with the smallest or largest number.
• How many? Children play with a parent or friend. On the count of Go!, both players show a number of fingers. The child subtracts the smaller number from the larger by folding them down, and counts how many fingers are left.

    Beauty with a Bell

    Tell me how a country gal could end up so appealing?
    Can it be the simple things that I will be revealing.
    I’m a tasty beast,
    A very tempting feast.
    A beauty with a bell.
    Take a look at me, you really must agree.
    I’m a gorgeous sort of gal.
    I’m a tasty beast,
    A very tempting feast.
    A beauty with a bell.
    Take a look at me, you really must agree,

    I’ve – got – big brown eyes and shapely thighs,
    A body big and strong:
    Velvet skin, and looks that win,
    And I’m good at singing this song. Yes,
    I know how a country gal could end up so appealing:
    It must be the simple things that I have been revealing.

    And I’m good at singing this song. Yes,
    I know how a country gal could end up so appealing:
    It must be the simple things that I am not concealing-
    That I have been revealing!
