Good Morning Reception!
I am SO impressed to already see lots of fantastic work being emailed in from yesterday!! You are becoming superstars at careful counting and addition! Well done!
Let’s get ready for our maths learning this morning by listening and working out to our 'Count to 100' song below and taking part in today’s fluent-in-five!
This morning we have a very special task to complete…
We need to help the pirate to count his treasure! Take a look at the ‘1-15 Pirate Counting’ video below and help the pirate to count his golden gems!
Yo-ho! Fantastic! What number did you count to? How much treasure did the pirate have? How many gems would the pirate have if you added one more?
Today I would like you to take part in your own treasure counting activity!
You will need:
Tray of sand (or shredded paper)
Coin Cut-Outs (see attachment link – or make your own!)
Treasure Chest Posters (see attachment link)
Activity:
Parents begin by hiding the bronze coin cut-outs in the tray of sand/shredded paper or around the house!
Place the ten-frame poster showing the pirate looking for bronze coins alongside the tray. Children need to look for the bronze coins in the sand and place them onto the ten-frame as they find them. Ask children how many they found and ask them to carefully count and point to each one!
Repeat the activity by hiding the silver coins in the sand. Again, ask children to find them and place them onto the ten-frames to count! For the gold coins, ask children to find them and place them onto the lower-ten frame. The pirate has already found some gold coins so children can count on from ten to find the total number of gold coins!
Next steps:
Provide children with simple addition calculations i.e 2+ 2 and see if children can work this out using the coins and ten-frames! Encourage them to write this as a number sentence!
Don’t forget to email in pictures of your work or to tell us about your learning at receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk! We can’t wait to hear from you! J Good luck!
