Maths

Look at the number 2. How many things in your house can you find that come in twos eg socks. An adult could help you write a list. Can you find any number 2's on anything?

A squash and a squeeze game. How any pieces of pasta can you fit in your egg cup. Have a guess first and then fill it. Take them out and put them in a line. Can you count how many?

Have a big glass or cup and a small jug or cup. How many of the small cups will fill the big cup? Pour them in and count. Maybe you can try different sized containers.
