ELG Numbers: Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing. 

 

This week’s focus will be all around doubling and halving.

 

Starter: How many 2D shapes can you name? Challenge: what can the children tell you about the shape? Can they find one in the house?

 

Main Activity: Get 10 objects, these can be anything: 10 apples, 10 Lego pieces, 10 colouring pencils. Now show the child an amount and see if they can double it. For example, give them 2 pieces of Lego and ask can you double it? They should get two more. Then ask how many do you now have altogether. 'Double 2 is 4'.

Continue to do this between 1 and 10 until they are comfortable.

Challenge: Write the number sentences and to see if they notice any patterns. For example all answers are even numbers. Why is that?
