Good morning everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend with your families.
Here we are at the beginning of another week of home schooling and we are going to start with “Maths Monday” as usual.
TIME
Days of the week
Can you say the days of the week in the correct order? Teach your parents/carers the “Days of the Week” song that we learned in school. Follow the link below to sing along! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GKmCQOy88Y
Get a grown up to ask you questions about them. Eg What day comes after Monday? What day comes before Saturday? What days do we usually go to school? What day is in between Tuesday and Thursday? What are the weekend days?
Complete page 9 in your “Information Handling and Time” workbook about the days of the week. I have put this on Seesaw for anyone that did not get this.
Revisit the story of “Oliver’s Vegetables” on YouTube.
What did Oliver eat each day? Write a sentence and draw a picture about each day.
On Monday Oliver ate ………………
On Tuesday Oliver ate ……………….
Remember that we need a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, at the start of the day of the week and at the start of Oliver’s name. Don’t forget finger spaces and full stops!
Practise writing out the days of the week in your jotters. Can you spell them correctly without having to look?
Watch this video clip all about telling o’clock and half past times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol6tVdOkmGA
Can you draw a line to match the analogue and digital clocks that are telling the same time? This is an activity on Seesaw.
Can you make a clock outside in your garden, in the park or even in the woods? Use branches, twigs, stones, leaves etc to make the numbers. You and another member of your family could even be the hands of the clock. Remember you need a short hour hand and a long minute hand! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Practise the o’clock and half past times and go on to quarter past if you feel ready.
Number
- Count on and back (within 10, 20, 50 and 100). Choose what is right for you.
- Start at any given number and count on and back. (eg start at 6, 13, 35, 68 etc)
- What number is in between? (eg 5 and 7, 14 and 16, 49 and 51?)
Counting 10-20.
We are going to do some more work on place value and I have recorded an example of how to count on. Listen to this and then practise counting the pieces of macaroni. This is an activity on Seesaw. Again, encourage your child to count on from 10. Write down the number that you get to.
Use pasta or small objects to make the numbers 10-20 on the blank “tens and ones” grid that I have put on Seesaw. Get your child to make the ten first and then count on the ones to complete the number.
Have another go at playing “Place Value Basketball” on Top Marks. Start with “Numbers up to 19” until your child is confident with splitting these numbers in to 1 ten and so many ones. They should know that there are 10 in the green column without having to count them individually and then they would add on the ones.

If your child is really confident with the numbers up to 19 then try some of the higher numbers. Get your child to count in tens if there are several green columns and then count on to add the ones.
Let me know how you get on with this.
“Shark Numbers” on Top Marks will give you more practise with tens and ones. Follow the link below.

Dice Game
Roll two dice. Add the numbers together. Write out the adding sum in your jotter and read your number story out loud to a grown up.
Pair the Socks
Pegging socks up on a washing line is great for your fine motor control and strengthening your pincer grip.
Help your parents/ carers to pair the socks. Try to get a selection of different colours, patterns and sizes.
I hope you have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you on Seesaw.
