Mathematics Activities this week
Shape Hunt
Children (and adults!) love a good scavenger hunt. Put a twist on the search by having children find items of certain shapes. When all objects have been collected, children can then trace and colour in the items on a separate sheet of paper. If the objects are items that can’t be picked up, such as a clock on a wall, let children use your smartphone to take a photo of the item.
For the youngest in the household, have them find objects that are of simple shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. Challenge older children with searches for items in the shape of parallelograms, ovals, rhombuses, or scalene triangles.

Centipede and Millipede
(can be sung to the tune - Jack and Jill)
Centipede had lots of legs,
To climb up garden walls.
They stop him from falling off,
He counts them as he crawls.
10,20,30,40,50,60,70, 80 ,90,100

Valentines Maths Game :)
A simple maths game which one of our great parents brought in.
For page one the children roll two dice, add the two numbers and colour the corresponding numeral.
On the second page the children roll the die and colour the number of hearts.
A great way to encourage counting and one-to-one correspondence.
I love it !
