Mathematics
Today begin by counting in 1's to 20. Using your number line can you point to 11?
1 more than 12? 1 more than 8? 1 more than 13?
(Please help children to recognise that as we count on, each number is one more than the number before.)
Our number this week is 19
Can you collect 19 objects. It could be 19 leaves, 19 seeds or even 19 toys! Well done! Now using those items, can you make up 5 addition sums and 5 subtraction sums. For example:
19 - 3 =
19 - 2 =
19 - 5 =
For addition sums you will need to split the 19 items into two piles. Count how many in each pile and write as an addition sum. Have you noticed that the answer is always 19? Even if you split the 19 items into 3 or four piles, the answer will always be 19. Why is that?
17 + 2 = 19
16 + 3 = 19
10 + 8 + 1 = 19
Well done!
