Maths - Week Beginning 8th June

Maths - Doubling 🐞

This week in maths we are going to be looking at doubling. Doubling a number is when you add the number by itself!

👉  Doubles Rap


Monday

 To get your child used to the idea of 'doubling', it's best to use objects to help them.
Gather 2 objects (teddy's, books, toys etc) and place them on the floor, ask your child to get the same amount of objects that you have and place next to them.

Ask them:
How many do I have now?
So therefore double 2 is _____?

Continue to do this for other numbers.

 Tuesday

 Doubles to 10
Doubles to 20
Draw the same amount of dots on the other part of the dominos and then count them altogether.
Complete this activity.



Wednesday

Let's get creative. cut out a picture of a butterfly and ask your child to paint a number of spots on one side (make sure this is no more than 10). Fold the butterfly in half... you should now have double that amount of spots.

Can you write the number of the total amount of spots in the middle of the butterfly?
How many doubling butterflies can you make?



Thursday

Today, we're going to listen to a story about counting and doubling. See if you can join in with the numbers.

Here are this weeks numeracy tasks.  Monday - Exploring number bonds within 10.  Using your ten-frame that was included in your home learning pack (or you could draw one on some paper) can you explore what numbers make 10.   Can you list all of the different number sentences to make ten? (see below example) 3+7=10 *Please note you can work within five if your child is struggling with ten.  Tuesday - Using the below as a guide, can your child complete the following for numbers 1-10.  For example:  Wednesday -  Coin challenge  Ask your grown up if you can count the coins they have? How many are 1p coins?  Can you create and write a number sentence? Thursday -  Whose shoes? Can you find 4 different sized shoes in your house and put them in order of size? What else can you find to order by length? Can you write a sentence to explain what you have noticed? Happy investigating!
