Maths

Finding Out How Much More

Look at the picture below…

It will help to model the cookies with counters. Investigate different ways to find the answer. Does it help to line up the ones?

Point out that when finding how much more, we are looking for what is different between the two numbers. Therefore, the unmatched cookies show the difference.

ACTIVITY TIME:

Using a number square is a great way of helping us find more or less than a number. Have a look at the picture below to explain…

Now practice finding more or less than a number. You could use your 100 square from school or use this interactive one.

Ask an adult to click on a number and ask you some questions such as ‘what is one more than 26? 4 more than 32? 2 less than 24?’ you must splat the correct number.

Now complete the guided practice activity and then do pages 15 -16 in your Workbook.

Maths Challenge Time!

Now try making the difference between the numbers large.

Phonics

Art

We love the wonderful illustrations in the Rapunzel and Little Red texts we have been using for our literacy over the last few weeks. They were created by Bethan Woollvin, who also wrote the stories. Today we will be having a go at making our own drawings inspired by her simple, distinctive style.
