Children in Reception have been working very hard on their home learning - finding different shapes, counting, making repeating patterns, doubling and halving and adding.

Fantastic work!

There is lots of maths you can do at home that does not involve screentime or worksheets.

Have you tried any of these?

• Do some cooking together.  Weighing ingredients and measuring liquids accurately is great maths work.  With younger children, discuss the concepts of full, half full and empty and compare amounts.
• Look for numbers around the house.  What are the largest and smallest numbers you can find?
• Practise cutting pieces of paper (or even food) into different fractions such as quarters, eighths or sixteenths.  Make sure all the parts are equal.
• Count or collect different flowers, leaves or stones from the garden or on a walk.  Back at home, sort the objects into categories.  You can also create tables and graphs to show what you found.
• Play some games together and keep the score to practise counting.  You could make the score for a win 5 or another number so children practise counting in different jumps.
• Make times table or number fact flashcards and test each other.
• Create pictures out of 2d shapes that children know (this could be simple like circles, squares or triangles or include more complex shapes like a rhombus or octagon).  You could draw these pictures, paint them or cut out shapes and stick them. 
• Plan a day out together for a future date.  This could include working out budgets, prices, timings and distances.
