Maths (choose 2 activities each day)
- Recite numbers to 10 and then back from 10 to 0 – say it loud, say it quietly, stamp when you are reciting, clap when you are reciting
- Balance on one leg – how high can you recite to when you are balancing? Do it again – did you balance for longer this time?
- Get some dried pasta – grab a handful – can you count them carefully? Can you write the number? Grab some more – how many this time? Can you add them together? How many in total?
- Use some lego bricks. Count out 10. Can you create a tower? Count out 9 – make another tower – is it taller or shorter than the tower with 10 bricks – how many more bricks do you have altogether?
- Gather a bowl and 10 objects (some dry pasta or lego pieces) carefully throw the objects into the bowls – how many do you get in? count them carefully – how many did not go in? – count them carefully – there are still 10 altogether – try again – how many in and how many out. Play this game with your adult – can you beat them by getting more in your bowl?
- What numbers can you see all around you? Can you see any on the remote control? Computer, in the kitchen etc – what numbers can you recognise?
- Use the CBBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/topics/numeracy play: counting song, add up with the number blocks, easy pattern quiz, count with Peter, sing the number songs – see what else you can use to help with your counting
- play the ordering caterpillar game – choose the number range and order the random numbers that you are given
