This week in Maths we will be focusing on securing our careful counting skills along with our number bonds and facts.

Pupils will be looking at our Big Pictures of the week and explaining in full sentences, using mathematical language what they can see. ‘In the picture I can see a vase on the window sill, with flowers inside, 3 of the flowers are pink and 3 are yellow, altogether there are 6 flowers.

Can you look at the pictures together at home and share what you see? Try to encourage speaking in full sentences along with noticing at shapes, patterns, sizes, quantities and details from the pictures.

These pictures are for both Reception and Year One pupils to investigate, maybe you can continue this activity when you are out and about? Try spotting any numbers, shapes and patterns, ‘How many oranges are in this bag? What numbers can you see on the bus or on a car license plate?’
