This week in Maths, Reception pupils will be focusing on securing their knowledge of the numbers 1,2 and 3. We shall be playing games with these numbers, writing them and matching the correct quantities. Try working on these numbers together at home, you can count the steps to the kitchen or how many pairs of shoes you have, you could count the toys that are on the floor, or spot the door numbers in your street.

Watch this number formation video and see if you can remember the songs and try practicing writing numbers, you don’t have to even use a pencil for this – you could use anything you can find, a paintbrush and water or chalk, outside. Please feel free to take some photos and upload onto Tapestry for us to see, we would love to see all the different ways you can create or form your numbers.

Next, try and see if you can match the quantities to the numbers. Can you find 3 things that are blue and place them next to the matching number? Can you find 2 forks and place them next to the correct number? See the examples below and look at all the different ways to think and think about numbers, go on and try some, and most importantly, have fun!
