Numeracy Passport Parents’ Guide ASIA Frequently Asked Questions Where can I do the passport activities with my child? Anywhere! In the car, out and about, at the supermarket or at home. Most activities can be done through talking with your child. How often? Daily for best results. How long should we do it? Around 10 minutes will do. Don’t overdo it, as your child may ‘switch off’. My child is not being moved on at school. Why not? Children will be tested on each target at regular intervals – approximately every fortnight. Why don’t you test straight after a practice? We need to know that the children will remember each target forever! My child says he was tested and passed, but is still working on this target, why? We will test until they have passed the target 3 times. These tests will be at least a fortnight apart from one another. Then the target will be ‘signed off’ at school. How many targets should I work on at once? This is your choice. You can work on one target or several from the same passport. Can I help in school? Yes! We are always on the lookout for help even if you can’t give up much time. Please contact your class teacher if you’re interested. What would I be expected to do in school? You would be asked to work with one or two children for 15 minutes on their numeracy passport activities e.g. once a week after lunch. Why isn’t my child writing much down during the activities? Children need to learn these targets mentally. Writing them down may slow their progress. They will remember them better if this has been done through talk and playing games. What does the test look like? Like this! 6 7 3 4 1 9 5 2 0 8 The teacher would put some numbers in the middle column (see above). For example, this one could be used to test the 2x table. Your child would then start at the top and fill in as many answers in the empty column on one side (left hander to the left side and right handers to the right side – so they can see the middle numbers!) Your child will be timed. If they complete the sheet correctly in 30 seconds or less they will receive the first signing of their passport. They will then get tested approximately 2 weeks later. Once the target has been signed 3 times, it will be ‘signed off’. How does my child move to the next passport? Once all their targets have been signed off, they will do a mixed test of all their passport targets. Why? This will ensure that they have REALLY learnt them by heart! . Count in twos I know all the 2 x table I can count in twos up to 20. 1x2 (Starting from any 2s number) 10 x 2 = 20 Repeat 5,10 x 0 6 2 . 4 Can you chant the tables? One two is two Two two’s are 4 Three twos are 6 (child) . 8 10 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p = 10 5 x 2 = 10 (lots) 12 14 If you had 3 2p coins how much money 16 would you have?...,..repeat with different amounts 18 Flip the card. (numbers 1-10) 20 Pick a random card e.g. 3 Work out 3 x 2 repeat with different cards Ideas to try at home: . Make sets of 2 and count them up by counting in 2s ….. 2 4 . 6 8 Can you carry on a number pattern? 2… 4…. 6…. 8…. Etc. Find the missing number in a sequence… 2, ___ 6, 8, ___ 12, ___ etc. . Put the number cards in the correct order . 0 2 4 6 ……… 20 etc . Play a game of pairs. At the end – How many cards have you won? Eg. 2 4 6 8 ….. etc. Match socks/gloves into pairs. 2 4 6 etc How many altogether? Count in 2’s Count 2p coins. 2p 4p 6p 8p How many pence altogether? Can you put these number cards in the correct order? 6 8 2 10 4 Count in fives I can count in fives verbally up to at least 60. *(starting from any 5s number) 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Ideas to try at home: Make sets of 5 and count them up by counting in 5’s 5 . 10 15 20 25 etc. Carry on a number pattern. 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 - - etc. . Find the missing number in a number sequence. 5 ? 15 ? 25 ? 35 etc. Can you put these number cards in the correct order? 10 25 0 5 20 15 . Count the 5 minute intervals around the clock. Counting 5p coins. How many pence altogether? 5? 10? 15? 20? Etc How many toes on 2 feet? 4 feet? 6 feet?.... Now count in 5’s. Use this page to make notes. Count in tens I can count in tens up to 100. (starting from any 10s number) 0 10 30 40 50 20 60 100 70 90 80 Ideas to try at home: Make sets of 10 objects and count them up counting in 10’s. 10 20 30 Carry on a number pattern. Which is the right number in the sequence? 10 20 30 - etc 40? 50? 60? 70? Find the missing number in a sequence 10 - 30 - 50 etc 20? 30? 40? 50? Can you put number cards in the correct order? 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 etc.* 20 40 10 50 *Please see back page for number cards. Count 10p coins: 10 20 30 40 How many pence altogether? 30 . Count up in 10’s: How many toes on one person, 2 people, 3 people etc? . Count out a multiple of 10 (e.g. 60) and the child calls out the next one. Let’s start with… 10! 30! ? Err… 20! 40! Number bonds to 10 I know by heart number bonds to 10 . Number bonds are different ways of making 10. 10 + 0 = 10 9 + 1 = 10 8 + 2 = 10 7 + 3 = 10 6 + 4 = 10 5 + 5 = 10 4 + 6 = 10 3 + 7 = 10 2 + 8 = 10 1 + 9 = 10 0 + 10 = 10 1 + 9 = 10 2 + 8 = 10 3 + 7 = 10 4 + 6 = 10 5 + 5 = 10 6 + 4 = 10 7 + 3 = 10 8 + 2 = 10 9 + 1 = 10 Ideas to try at home: Get 10 objects and find different ways of splitting them into 2 groups like the pictures below:. 4 + 6 = 10 etc. Can you find two sets that make 10? 7+ 3 = 10 Now swap them around? 3 + 7 = 10 etc. . Get number cards 0 to 10 spread them on the table. Can you find me 2 numbers that make 10 altogether? 7 + 3 = 10 etc Show me 4 fingers. How many more do you need to make 10? Using number cards 1 – 10 pick a number. How many more to make 10? Show me 10 fingers. If you take 3 away how many will you have left? Etc. . Doubles to 10. I can recall doubles of all numbers to at least 10. 1 + 1 = 2 2 + 2 = 4 3 + 3 = 6 4 + 4 = 8 5 + 5 = 10 6 + 6 = 12 7 + 7 = 14 8 + 8 = 16 9 + 9 = 18 10 + 10 = 20 For example adding two numbers that are the same e.g. 1+1 = 2 2+2=4 up to 10+10. Saying double one is two, double two is four...etc Make two lots of one, two lots of 2, two lots of 3 Double 1 is 2 Double 2 is 4 Double 3 is 6 Double 4 is 8 etc. Ideas to try at home: Roll a die say what double the number rolled is: E.g. Double 6 is 12 etc Using number cards face down 0-10 Pick a number. Say what it is doubled. 3 2 1 6 4 55 7 8 9 E.g. Double 4 is 8 etc. 10 10 Put coins 1p 2p 5p And double it. 10p in a bag. Pick a coin Double 2p is 4p etc Questions: I double a number, my answer is 10. What number did I start with? (This is halving which is the reverse of doubling). *Make a set of even number objects. (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10) Share them into 2 groups to find half of that number. (Repeat with other numbers)
