This is a key area of maths that we would like you to focus on this half term
with your child. Start with securing the number bonds to 10, once fluent move
onto bonds to 20.
Remember little and often is key to success! We have included a few ideas of
how you can help your child learn these skills, but feel free to come up with
your own.
Please also feel free to bring in photos, pictures or work that your child has
completed at home to go on our super home learning maths board. The
children are able to earn stars for their class each time they do this to win
prizes each half term.
If you need any support your child’s class teacher will be happy to help.
Everyday activities
Online
Use objects from around the house e.g. drinking
straws, spoons or shells to count and put into
sets of 10 or 20 – how many different number
sentences can you write?
Remember each child has access to Education
City where there are lots of games to play to
help them learn.
Shout out numbers as you
drive along e.g. you shout 6,
they shout 4 back at you!
Use hands as a resource to
help your child visualise the
numbers.
