Reception Maths

Please continue with the following 

Counting / ordering and number bonds (addition and subtraction) 

• count things of different sizes, count things that can’t be seen e.g. sounds and actions. 
• Count toys, pairs of socks and other things in the house and garden.  Listen out for the correct pronunciation of the teen numbers.
• Count forwards and backwards to 10 and then 20 – starting at different numbers. Counting rhymes can help with this.
• Order numbers to 20 – make some number cards and practise number formation.
• Discuss numbers that are one more than and one less than a given number, e.g. five is one more than four and twelve is one less than thirteen.
• Play dice games and find the number of things represented on the dice. Use two dice – find out how many altogether (total) and then match the correct number of objects. Move on to three dice… Use two dice to compare numbers – difference between eg 2 and 4 – the difference is 2
• Play track games. Discuss counting on… I am on four… I am going to count on 5… Ensure counting on starts on the next number. Make a number track outside with chalk or draw one and make a trach game.
• Learn addition and subtraction number bonds for the numbers up to ten and beyond…

Reception
Subtraction 

• Take away from a group – physically remove a number of objects from a group (subtract) and count to find out how many are left. When we subtract the group gets smaller.
• Subtraction stories / subtraction number problems.
• Eg There were ten apples on the tree and Mum picked 6. How many were left on the tree?
• I ate seven cakes. There were twelve earlier. How many are left?
• One day eleven superheroes flew to another planet. Five came back and six stayed for a sleepover.
• Nine Lego people were on my model. My brother took three for his model so I only had six left.
• Start with small numbers to begin with. Children who have lots of experience of partitioning numbers will understand that if there are eight to begin with and four have been subtracted there will be four remaining. Four and four make eight.
• Children need opportunities to say how many are hidden in a known number of things. For example: ‘Five toys go into a tent, then two come out. How many are left in the tent?’ The child should respond that there are still three toys in the tent. This can be practised by playing hiding games with a number of objects in a box, under a cloth, in a tent, in a cave, etc.

Addition and Subtraction

• Moving forward and back on a number track (addition and subtraction).
• Explore addition and subtraction by moving forwards and backwards along a number track. Tracks can be up to ten and then progress up to 20.
• Add spots, Numicon or objects to the number track if your child needs support to recognise numbers. 

Year 1 

Please see the next maths PowerPoint on the school website (Year 1 maths multiplication and division). Maths will continue using the same format with Mrs Saeed’s daily lessons. We will be moving on to 

• doubling of numbers to 10,
• halving of numbers to 20, 
• counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, 
• multiplication using equal groups, repeated addition and arrays,
• division as grouping and sharing. 

My Maths will continue alongside the daily lessons. 

Remember, there are lots of opportunities for maths while doing other things ie measuring heights of plants, weighing and measuring when baking, timing how long activities take to do and noticing numbers in the environment whilst out for daily exercise.

If you have any queries, please email your child’s class teacher via the class email.

Y2s are to work their way through ‘The Magical Teaching Box’ : Y2-Unit

Maths 

The Statistics Powerpoint is on the school website (Year 2 maths Powerpoint -Statistics) and should take just under two weeks to work through roughly from May 4th. There will be another PowerPoint available from May 11th on Length, again this is a 2 week unit approximately. There are plenty more links available for maths websites on the last document should you require them.

Please continue to use My Maths and to practice maths skills as often as possible.

Remember, there are lots of opportunities for maths while doing other things ie measuring heights of plants, weighing mass when baking, measuring liquid capacity, timing how long things take to do and telling the time, times tables etc

If you have any queries, please email your child’s class teacher via the class email.

It is hoped that this should not be new learning for the children and hopefully they will be consolidating strategies we have covered in class this year. As ever, if you feel that your child is having difficulties – please either e-mail us or use My Maths as a teaching tool. 

(As we are trying to cater for a variety of needs and ages, we have put a spread of activities – please use your judgement as to how much you think your child can cope with.)
