Using non-standard measures: length
Let's get measuring. Look at your hand. Stretch it out as big as it can go. The distance from your thumb to your little finger is called your hand span. Go around your house finding things that are smaller and things that are larger than your hand span. Write them in these circles.
Use string to measure
This practical and fun activity will enable your child to measure the snakes with string and compare the lengths using mathematical language.
Measurement: comparing lengths
Are you the tallest person in your family or the shortest? Are the items in your home taller or shorter than you? Let's do some measuring to find out!
Sequencing events
Ask your child to cut out the pictures and think about which heading they go under. Once they have placed them under the headings, ask them to give you a verbal sentence explaining what they do and when, for example: ‘In the morning, I eat breakfast.’
Number ladders
Number lines are vertical versions of number lines, used in primary-school maths to help children become familiar with our number system and perform simple calculations like addition and subtraction.
Number lines
Number lines are an essential tool in primary-school maths. Print out our colourful versions for use with your child at home, or use them as inspiration to help your child design (and perhaps decorate) their own number line.
Reception maths Progress checks
In Reception your child will develop the foundations of all their future numeracy work, learning to count accurately, add, subtract, order numbers correctly and use mathematical language. Find out where to support their learning at home with our Reception maths Progress check, then plan lots of numbers fun to boost their confidence.
Understanding time in minutes
How many of each of these things can you do in one minute? How many can you do in three minutes? Ask your mum or dad to time you with a stopwatch!
Understanding subtraction
Can you cut out these 10 sausages and colour them in? Do you know this song? Use your coloured sausages to show what happens as you sing – ask you mum or dad for a real pan to toss your bangers in (safely off the stove!).
The language of measurement
Can you find the longest, thinnest, tallest, smallest or widest? Then see if you can draw something long, thin, small and wide.
Symmetry explained
Something is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides. Can you make this butterfly symmetrical by drawing the same patterns on its wings on both sides?
Spot the missing numbers
Can you spot the missing number on the hedgehog, the balloon, the beach ball and the car? What about on the star?
Sharing objects into equal groups
Cut out these dolls, cars and sweets. Can you share them between you and your mum or dad? Say “one for me, one for you” as you hand them out!
Roll a number and draw it
Ask your mum or dad to cut out this template and make it into a die for you. Can you roll it and draw an amount of something? For example, Ella rolled a 6. She drew 6 flowers.
Recognising numbers up to 20
Cut out all the number squares. Can you put them in order from 0-20? You’ll notice there are two numbers missing. What are they? Write the missing numbers down.
