Wednesday 3rd June - Maths
Date: 3rd Jun 2020 @ 7:20am
Good Morning Reception – Happy Wednesday! We are already halfway through the week! Can you believe it?!
Let’s warm up for our maths learning today by listening to some maths songs below and taking part in today’s fluent-in-five!
That one was little bit tricky! How did you do?
Today in our maths learning, we are going to be focusing on counting one less and subtraction/taking away!
Let’s begin by counting backwards from 20! Ready… 20, 19, 18…..
Now try this with an adult at home.. Count backwards from 20 saying one less in turns. E.g Adults begin with 20, children say 19, adult say 18, etc…
Great! Do you feel ready for more subtraction learning? Let’s begin with our ‘Subtraction with Pirates’ song below! Yo-Ho!
Let’s help Pirate Pete with his subtraction!
Pirate the Pete has 4 chests full of treasure.
He uses 1 chest of treasure to buy a ship.
How many does he have left?
1……2……3! Pirate Pete has 3 chests left!
How can we write this as a number sentence?
4 – 1 = 3
Fantastic! Give yourselves a pat on the back if you got it right! J Let’s try the next one!
5 treasure maps are made for a journey.
1 map is stolen!
How many maps are left?
How can we write this as a number sentence?
3 Compasses are found by Sarah the swashbuckler.
2 of them are broken, so she throws them into the sea!
How many does she have left?
Can you work it out? Write it as a number sentence!
Make sure you email in your answers or pictures of your work to receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk! I can’t wait to hear from you! J Good luck!
I have also a ‘Pirate Subtraction up to 10 Worksheet’ below if you would like some extra learning!
