Repeat with all numbers! Can you say the number that is 1 more or 1 less than your chosen number?

Can you say the number that is 2 more or 2 less than your chosen number?

Maths: Sharing

Get a pot of 10 dried beans and 3 bears just like Otto! Share out the dried beans.

Is it fair?

How could you make it fair?

Repeat with either more bears or more beans.

Each time find ways to make it fair!

Maths: Odds and Evens Investigation

We are going to find out about odd and even numbers. Have a pot of 20 dried beans and sit with a grownup. Choose a number from 1-20 from the choosing number board and make a matching set of dried beans. Now share the dried beans between you and your grownup saying 'One for you and one for me' until they are all used. How many beans do you have? How many beans does your grownup have? Do you have the same? We call this an even number. If there was 1 more for either you or your grownup then there is an odd one out - that is an odd number. Continue to investigate all the numbers from 1-20 to find out which ones are odd and which ones are even.

Maths: Doubles

We are going to play spot the double! A double is when you add two numbers that are the same! Take it in turns with your grownup to roll 2 dice. How many doubles can you spot? If you rolled a 3 and another 3 then that is a double! How many is double 3? Count up the spots on both dice - 3+3=6 so double 3 is 6. Write all the doubles you find.
