Hi everyone, another week of home learning is almost over.

This morning for Maths can you practice 5 and 10 frames. We were working on these in class – everyone made a fantastic 5 frame robot or 10 frame monster. Watch the video below to remind you about 10 frames. Use the link below to play games based on 10 frames. We have played this game a few times in class so you should be getting much faster now. Also, remember to complete the Maths activities on your home learning grid.

1. Whats the number before, after, between?
2. What is ten more/ten less?
