shapes they can find and sort. Number bonds- can you find different ways to make the numbers- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 … all the way up to 20? Use the

number of the day sheet attached to show all the different ways Using money, find out how many different ways you can make the same total. (For example, how many ways

can you make 65p). Fractions- Practice finding 1/2s and 1/4s numbers. For example, get 20 sweets. What is half of 20? Put them

into 2 groups to find out. Can you work out a quarter now?  Use things around the house to help you work it out (You could use Lego or sweets, pasta).

Times table practice- 2s,3s,5s and 10s. Practice multiplying and dividing by these numbers. In class, we have been drawing or making these groups using arrays to support our understanding.

11. Is there a hidden message in the story? What is it?

12. Can you retell the story in your own words?
