Maths 

 

Counting skills 

Can you use your 1:1 correspondence skills to count the pictures to find out how many there are. 

Either use the sheets provided in the documents below or draw your own pictures to count.  

 

If you can't print off the above sheets try this kitchen cupboard sorting and counting activity. 

 

Maybe on a walk you can pick up some natural items and bring them home to sort and count how many you have collected. To extend the learning go for another walk and add more items to your original piles add them together to find a new total, this is adding. 

 

Adding Skills 

Count the object in two groups to find a total 

Make two baskets of food for Grandma, count how many objects are in each basket and then add all the objects together to find a total.

try again with different amounts of food. 

 

There are some adding sheet in the document below

As the sheets go on the adding gets harder
