Maths 

• Find time to engage with daily number work.

• Ask your child what learning we are doing in class and practise at home.

• Practise writing the numbers using the correct formation.

• Count forwards and backwards to 10, then 20, then 50, then 100, then 200.

• Skip counting in 2's, 5's, 10's and 3's forwards and backwards.

• Work on simple addition and subtraction problems ( for these make up a story) eg We have 4 books here and another 5 over there, how many do we have altogether?  We have 7 biscuits and eat 3 how many do we have left?

• Learn basic facts (and how to write these) first to 5, then to 10, then to 20.

• Using vocabulary at home to encourage maths e.g. Fractions - finding halves and quarters of sets and wholes. We have made 12 cupcakes to share between 2/4 people. How many do we get each?  Help to cut the pizza into half, then quarters. Find 1/2 of number sets ( groups of objects) to 10 then to 20.

•  Telling the time Learn the days of the week, talk about time as shown on the clock, read time to the hour and half hour.

• Find time to play games involving numbers and strategies like Connect 4, Snakes and Ladders, and Card games.
