 Marvellous Maths in Reception

This week in Reception, the children explored counting patterns beyond 10. The children practised counting backwards and forwards beyond 10, whilst using numberlines to show the correct order of the numbers. 

Our activity this week was to use Numicon to represent numbers beyond 10. 

 The children worked hard to see which numbers they would need to accurately represent each number. 

Activities: 

Maya: "I wrote up to 20"

Anu: "We put all of the numbers in order!" 

Albie: " 10 and 2 makes 12" 

Olivia: "I made numbver 14 with 10 and 4" 

Khushbakht: "3 tens make 15" 

Happiness: "We made 17" 

Key vocabulary: 

One more, one less, twenty, count on, backwards, forwards

Home Corner Request - We are looking for phones with numbers, remotes with numbers, clocks, baby items such as small baby clothes for the dolls, bottles, feeding spoons to promote pretend play. If you have any spare at home we would really appreciate any items. Thank you! 

Here are the children enjoying the home corner. They loved the new baby resources!

 The children have enjoyed exploring the story of 'Supertato' this week. The children have made a delicious vegetable soup, they have helped to cut the ingredients carefully and have added them together to create a delicious end product. They enjoyed dipping their bagels into this and tasting at the end.

The children have enjoyed trying to make cards this week in the writing area. We have been modelling how to carefully hold the pens and pencils to control their writing, there have been lots of opportunities to practice name writing! 

Outside the children enjoyed making pretend soup in the mud kitchen. They used water in the barrel carefully and learnt to turn it on and off. There was some great team work shown as they cooked and listened to each others ideas. 

The children have been mark making using chalks on the floor and benches. They loved  looking at the different pattern each other had created.

 

They children also chose to work on their throwing and aiming skills, just look at these throws! 

As always, the children have been creative using the malleable area and the art area. Harriet enjoyed rolling out the playdough with the textured rolling pin and feeling the pattern it made. Idhaya, Sadhana and Emir all made and decorated fans independently.

The children have loved the maths area this week, using it to draw round shapes and discuss what they notice. They have been practicing witting their numbers and counting objects.  

We have been working on our fine motor skills by threading using buttons and shoelaces.

Marvellous Maths in Reception

This week in Reception, the children were asked to order, compare, and count numbers up to and including 20. Ten frames were used to represent numbers between 10 and 20. 

 The children also explored various representations of these numbers using concrete resources such as cubes and numicon. We learnt that numbers between 10 and 20 are made up of one full ten and a part of the next ten. We made various representations of numbers more than ten and looked for patterns as the numbers increased. We also worked on the formation of these numbers. 

Take a look at the ways we explored numbers beyond 10. 

Activities: 

Domanic: "Two tens make twenty"

Zhyan: " Five add ten equals 15!" 

Harry: "Eleven comes after ten" 

Adon: " I can write up to 100" 

 

Happiness: "I can write up to forty" 

Ryan: " 18 comes after 17" 

Key vocabulary: 

Ten, ten frame, number, teen, twenty, before, after, part, full
