Coat Hanger Number Line & Addition
Being able to count numbers in order is important, but more important is being able to recognise numbers and knowing what they are worth. Mixing numbers up for children to order and using objects to know a numbers worth set a solid foundation. From this step children are able to tackle addition.
Number Bonds to 10
Lots of ways to practice number bonds, using gems, numbers, numicon - use what you have. Once the children have made the bond, ask them to write the number sentences. Simple, easy set up which can be extended to add challenge.
Cookies in a Jar
A lovely activity which really engaged my children. Lots of counting, number recognition and even some simple addition and subtraction. Great fun!
Pumpkin Maths
Children love this time of year and pumpkins offer lots of opportunities for learning. Today I've used them for maths. Ordering, weighing, measuring, counting, estimating and comparing. All about the questioning, discussion and vocabulary. Enjoy the season!
Where Am I?
Indoors or outdoors there is always an opportunity to practise positional language and develop vocabulary. Make it fun and make it fast - how quick can they move the toy to find the correct position? Could be a sibling challenge!
Numbers
Simple set up and engaging, as children enjoy flipping the cards cards and then challenging themselves to make, add and subtract. Use buttons, pasta, Lego; whatever you have. Give it a go! 🃏♠️♦️♣️❤️Simple set up and engaging, as children enjoy flipping the cards cards and then challenging themselves to make, add and subtract. Use buttons, pasta, Lego; whatever you have.

Number Tracks
Nice activity so looking at numbers. This can be as easy if as challenging as you need. Could be done on paper, in a tuff spot or whiteboard pen a table or chalked outdoors .
Matching Numbers to Amounts
Counting is one skill but being able to match the correct number to an amount is a very different skill. Using paper cups, this is an easy activity to set up at home or in the classroom.
Recognising 10
A great way to help with understanding numbers; recognition and value. Use whatever you have and it doesn't need to be in a tuff spot!
Halloween Maths
So much maths in creepy crawlies and being Halloween there are lots of them about. To add more challenge you could ask how many more legs has a spider than an ant? In total, many legs altogether? Add the spider and the ant legs together, write the number sentence?
Number Tracks
This proved to be a massive success; dice, cars and writing on a white board. A great way to think about addition, what it is, understanding it and problem solving. Very simple to set up and definitely an activity I will be repeating.
Counting, Number Recognition & Addition
Number recognition, counting out amounts, creating number sentences and then practise writing the numbers.
