Can you complete the Maths challenges in your pack?

This week’s challenges are learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. The next block is learning about length and how height is a type of length, if you want to get a head start.

Task 1: Children should be encouraged to count in 2s. For example, the children could count pairs of socks or shoes. What does it mean to count in pairs? Remember to explain how many sock or shoes there are in total. Why not try writing all the numbers

Task 2: It’s important that the children develop an understanding of counting forwards and backwards when counting. Can you solve the missing numbers on the number track by counting backwards in 2s? See below. Can you make your own missing number tracks, counting in 2s.

Task 3: Children should be encouraged to count in 5s now. For example, the children could count fingers on each hand or toes on each foot. Remember to explain how many fingers or toes there are in total. Why not try writing all the numbers in the 5 times-table now and see if you can spot a pattern, remember to stop when you get to the number 50.

Task 4: The children should then find groups of 5 using objects in the house or garden. For example, count out 20 cheerios (or a different cereal) and see if you can group the cheerios to make 5 in each group. How many cheerios in each group? How many groups? How many cheerios altogether? Try this with different numbers to 50. What will happen if you tried making groups of 5 with the number 22?

Task 5: Finally children should be encouraged to count in 10s. For example, the children could give high 10s to a partner. Remember to explain how many fingers there are in total. Why not try writing all the numbers in the 10 times-table now and see if you can spot a pattern.

Task 6: Miss Bailie and Mr Bradley have set you extra challenges on Doodle Maths to practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s (Click the red button “extras”. How many stars can you earn? Happy Doodling!Can you practise your throwing and catching outdoors?
