Count and clap forwards & backwards to 20!

Mental Maths Games: What number am I? 3 variations 1. Call out clues to a number and your child guesses the number. Then swap and allow them to call out the clues. e. g. I am more than 5 and less than 10, I am the double of 4, I am an even number, I am in between 7 and 9, I am 2 more than 6… What am I? I am 8. 2. Think of a number in your head. Child asks questions (opposite of first game. ) Reply with YES/NO only to questions. Then swap and allow your child to think of a number and ask them questions. e. g. Child: Is the number less than 5? Yes/No. Are you an odd number? Are you a double? Do you come after 3? etc. 3. Slowly trace a number on your child’s back with your finger and they must guess the number. Swap and allow your child to trace a number on your back. What number am I?

Optional Mental Maths Challenges: Just say or write the answer: There were 3 birds in the garden. 3 more flew into the garden. How many are there now? 1 of them flew away. How many are left?

Formation: Let’s practice writing number 10. Remember 10 has a 1 and a 0. We already know how to write them, let’s say the rhyme with our ‘Peter Pointers’ in the air…

Formation Activities: Here are some fun ideas you can do at home to practice writing 10: -‘Peter Pointer’ finger in the air tracing 10 saying rhyme -Tracing 10 on someone’s back/hand/ground -Grab some paper and make 10 with paint/crayons/chalk/markers/pencils, etc. -Trace 10 in flour/shaving foam/sand, etc. -Make 10 with marla/play dough -Write a page of 10 s in your copy Remember to say the rhyme. And always start at the top!

Ten Fingers Rhyme: I have ten fingers (hold up both hands, fingers spread) And they all belong to me, (point to self) I can make them do things – Would you like to see? I can shut them up tight (make fists) I can open them wide (open hands) I can put them together (place palms together) I can make them all hide (put hands behind back) I can make them jump high (hands over head) I can make them jump low (touch floor) I can fold them up quietly (fold hands in lap) And hold them just so.

“Go Fish” Game You will need a deck of cards. Remove all the face cards and the number 10 cards. You will be left with four cards each of numbers 1 -9. How to play: o Deal each player five cards. o Place the stack of remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. o This is the “Go Fish” pile. o Look for pairs in your hand that make 10. Place them on the table. o Take a card from the “Go Fish Pile” to make sure you always have 5 cards. o Take turns asking each other for the card you need to make 10 (e. g. if I have a ‘ 5’ I will ask for a 5 to make 10). o Take a card from the “Go Fish” pile if no one has the card you asked for. o The winner is the player that has the most pairs. Well done!

‘I Spy’…Which one is there 10 of?

Ten Frame How many dots do you see on the ten frame? How do you know? Can you write a number sentence for this frame in your copy? 3+7=10

How many dots do you see on the ten frame? How do you know? 2. Can you write a number sentence for this frame? + =10

How many dots do you see on the ten frame? How did you know? 3. 4. Can you write the number sentences for these frames?

Make your own 10 Frame if you haven’t already. 1. Draw a 10 frame in your copy or on a piece of paper. 2. Find 10 cubes/counters/pieces of lego to use. 3. Can you make the story of ten in lots of different ways? Hide & Seek: (play with a partner) Example: 1. Place 10 objects in each square of the 10 frame. 2. Ask your partner to close their eyes and take away some of the objects (i. e. counters/cubes) and hide behind your back. 3. Partner opens eyes, looks at 10 frame and guess how many you’re hiding. Can write sum e. g. 4+6=10 or ? +7=10 4. Swap and continue game.
