Hello and welcome to another great week which begins with our Maths Monday blog. This week in Phase One we shall be focusing on patterns, particularly patterns which repeat and also Shapes, 3D and 2D.

Take a look at this picture and see which shapes you can spot? What can you see? Ask your child to explain in full sentences, what are the shapes, colours and how many can they find?

Reception children will be exploring patterns and noticing if and how they repeat. You can help at home, maybe you can make patterns using everyday objects and see if they can continue the pattern, spoon, knife, fork, spoon, knife, fork for example. Take a look at this video and see if you can complete the pattern together.

Year One pupils will be investigating shapes and their properties. Can you spot any in your homes? What shapes are the plates? How do you know? How many sides do they have? Are they 3D or 2D?
