Some ideas for maths:

• Cooking: Cook a recipe with a family member. Measure the ingredients.

• Set the dining table. Ask many questions. How many people? How many plates, knives and forks will we need? Do we have enough chairs?

• Wash your hands while counting to 30.

• Count how many jumps you can do in a row. How many times can you throw a ball in the air without dropping it? How long can you stand on 1 leg?

• Play a board game or a game with playing cards, dice or dominoes.

• Help sort the washing out, folding and putting clothes away. Sorting and pairing socks etc.

• Use a calendar to count down to a specific event .

• Give your child a ruler or similar item to measure length (pencils, spoons etc will all work!). Have them measure things around the house to find things that are longer or shorter than their given item.

• Use a timer to see how long it takes to pack away toys. Can you beat the timer? As you pack away use the words first, second, third to develop and understanding of position.

• Find a shopping receipt and choose 2 items. Use vertical addition to add the items together to find the total cost.
