Marvellous Maths in Reception

 

Marvellous Maths in Reception 

This week the children focused on one more and one less. The children practised counting and comparing as they explored one more and one less.  They completed an activity using concrete resources. The children also used 5 frames to show one more and one less. We have also been focusing on the formation of number four. Take a look at the activities below.

We watched this video as an introduction to one more and one less.

Please see the document below for the rhymes we use to help the children form numbers correctly.
