To start our maths learning today we are going to join in singing some number songs:
Today for our maths learning we are going to make penguins which we can eat! I would like you and your family to make some penguins using very tasty ingredients. Here are some suggestions, or you can use your own ideas:
Each time you make a penguin I would like you to write a number sentence. For example:
I made 1 penguin for Mrs Meddins and 1 penguin for Mrs Allcock
I could show this using my hands:
My number sentence would be:
1 + 1 = 2
I then made 1 penguin for Mrs Dallow
How many penguins do I have now?
My number sentence will be:
2 + 1 = 3
You can make as many penguins as you wish; the more you make the more number sentences you can write.
When you’ve finished making penguins you and your family get to eat them! Remember each time you eat one I would like you to write a number sentence. So if you make 5 penguins and your mum eats 1 how many will there be left?
You can show this using your hands:
Your number sentence will look like this:
5 – 1 =
I hope you and your family enjoy making and eating the penguins! I would love to see some photographs of your penguins and number sentences.
Have a lovely day and a lovely weekend everyone! See you on Monday.
