Good Morning Reception!

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Can you email and share what you have enjoyed doing the most?

Let’s warm up for our maths learning this morning by listening to some of our favourite maths songs and completing the fluent-in-five questions below…

We can show our numbers in many different ways! Take a look at this Jack Hartman video below to remind you of the different representations!

Today in our maths blog, we are going to be looking at how our numbers are represented in ‘tens frames’ and using them to help us with our early addition skills! Thinking about numbers using frames of ten can be a helpful way to learn basic number facts.

Here is a link to a website which helps children to develop addition skills using a ten frame. Click on option ‘4. Add’ https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Ten-Frame/

You should see this on your screen:

Let’s work this first one out together! We have to use the tens frames to work out 7 + 7

In the first tens frame, I am going to count 7 counters, and then select ‘done’.

As the addition calculation is 7 + 7, I need to add another 7 counters into the second frame…

Now I have to ‘combine’ both tens frames together. This means we have to move over the blue counters to fill the tens frame so that we can clearly count all of the counters in an easier way.

Now that I have dragged over my blue counters, I can clearly see that the top tens frame is full – it is clear to see that I have ‘10’ counters in the top frame.

To make my counting easier, I can start counting from ‘10’ from the top frame and continue counting the blue counters in the frame below. I can see I need to add on 4 more..

Yay! First question complete! We have worked out the addition calculation 7 + 7 = 14. Can you have a go at working some out on your own??

I can’t wait to see pictures of your super work! J Good luck!
