Maths

• Ordering numbers 1-10
• Creating tower blocks

*Write the numbers 1-10 on a sheet of paper, cut them out and order them. Mix them up order again. Play a game: Take a number away. What number is missing?
*If you have lego or any type of building blocks at home can you try and make tower blocks (see below)

Have a look at the next two pictures:
Which tower did I take away?

Can you work out which tower I took away in the next pictures?

Try it at home yourself. Play the missing number game with someone. Send me a picture of your tower blocks: mcsweeney.sile@gmail.com
