Some weeks have more activities than others so may take a bit longer to complete. If your child is finding the activities too difficult, you can make them easier by just focusing on numbers to 10 or 20. However, if you feel your child needs a challenge you may extend the numbers they use up to 100 or beyond!Week 1: Record numbers to 20, Count on or back 1,2 or 3 placesMake 2 digit numbers out of play-doh. Stick counters/buttons or coins into each number. Ten for the first digit (up to 19) to represent 1 lot of ten, then the appropriate number of counters to represent the units digit.Help your child to draw or paint a row of houses. Write numbers on the doors, starting with 10 and going up in twos. Can your child work out which number house should be next door to 10, then 12, then 14...Have a walk and look at the numbers on houses. What about the houses that are on the other side of the street? Talk about the numbers and mention odd and even numbers if you feel that your child would understand this concept.Practise writing two digit numbers in damp sand using a stick.Make towers of cubes or Lego bricks. Add 1/2/3 more bricks and work out how many bricks there are in the tower altogether. Help your child to record this as an addition sum. Can your child work out what the answer will be before they count the bricks to check?Hang numbers 1-20 on the washing line. Turn 5 cards round so that the numbers are no longer visible. Can your child work out which numbers have been turned round? (There is a set of printable number cards 1-20 on Twinkl)Put 20 clothes pegs along the bottom of a coat hanger and hide the whole thing under a cloth. Remove 1/2/3 pegs and ask your child to work out how many pegs are left on the hanger. Help your child to record this as a subtraction sum.Week 2: CapacityIf possible, help your child to make a milkshake or a smoothie, showing them how to measure the juice/milk needed. Then estimate how many glasses can be filled with the drink. Talk about what would happen if they were big glasses compared to small glasses-which would there be more of?Help your child to estimate how many shovels of sand will fill different buckets or moulds when building a pare different containers in the bath or paddling pool. Find out which holds the most or how many smaller containers it takes to fill up a larger container...Encourage your child to use the appropriate vocabulary: empty/half full/full/overflowing.If we have a period of wet weather (let’s hope not!), leave a container outside to measure the rain water.Week 3: Counting and Place ValueShuffle a set of 1-20 number cards. Show a card to your child and ask them to tell you what number comes before and after it.Show your child two numbers and ask them to tell you which number is the biggest and which is the smallest. Extend to numbers beyond 20 if your child needs a challenge.Encourage your child to count to 100. There are lots of songs and activities to support this online, if you Google Count to 100.If you have access to a printer, print out a 100 grid square. These are available on Twinkl. Allow your child plenty of time to familiarise themselves with the 100 square, then cover up some random numbers and see if your child is able to work out the missing numbers.Play the game Hit the Button. This can be found at marks.co.ukWeek 4: Recognise, describe and sort 3D shapes, Follow directionsIf your child does not already know, teach them left and right. Most children know if they write with their left or right hand so that would be a good starting point.Play games such as ‘Simon Says’. Simon says, put up your left hand, Simon says, touch your right knee and so on.Set up an obstacle course, perhaps in your back garden if you have space. Give your child directions in order for them to navigate the course. Use left and right, under and over, forwards and backwards etc...Spend time playing with a road mat if you have one, directing toy cars around the roads and working out how to get a car from one feature on the road mat to another. Perhaps your child could create their own road map if they don’t already have one and use cars or small play people to direct around the roads.Look at 3D shapes (this might be a new concept for your child as it has not yet been covered in class). Learn the names of common 3D shapes: cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone.Help your child to find things around the house that are these shapes, such as tins, a dice, cereal boxes, a ball, ice cream cone etc... Look at the number of faces each object has and talk about whether the faces are flat or curved.Week 5: Recognise all coins, Solve simple problems.If possible, find an example of every coin for your child to look at and investigate. They could draw round them and write their values inside, or make coin rubbings with wax crayons.Can your child find a way of grouping the coins into sets, such as copper/silver/gold or round/not round.Set up a role play shop using objects from around the house, such as food items or toys. Let your child write out some price tags and stick them to the items. Play shops using real money. Explain to your child the importance of washing their hands after handling the money. Encourage your child to find different ways of paying for an item, for example if a tin of beans costs 10p in your shop, they could pay for it using a 10p coin/two 5p coins/five 2p coins etc...Week 6: Time, minutes and days of the weekRead a book about days of the week, such as ‘Jasper’s Beanstalk’ by M. Inkpen. This can be found online in a video format.Make a diary of a typical week (pre lockdown if you prefer as it will be far more eventful!) Ask your child to draw a picture to represent something that they do on each day, such as swimming lessons or tea at Grandma’s.Look at a calendar and show your child how you write things that are happening on each day down so that you don’t forget! Use language such as today/tomorrow/yesterday/last week/next month...Help your child to locate their birthday on a calendar and other family birthdays too.Set a timer for 1 minute so that your child can see how long it is. Talk about counting up to 60 to represent 1 minute as there are 60 seconds in 1 minute. Practise this. Then set your child some challenges that they must complete in 1 minute:-How many times can they write their first name?How many bricks can they build into a tower?How many times can they touch their head, shoulders, knees and toesHow many times they can catch a ball without dropping it.Feel free to add in anymore challenges that you or your child can come up with! Have lots of fun! ................
