Maths
| Learning Objective/Focus: | To subtract by counting back. | |
| Main input (explanation) | When subtracting (taking away) we can find how many are left by counting backwards from the highest number. So to answer 5-2 we would count 2 back from 5, by putting 5 in our head and counting backwards 2 steps. | |
| Activities MUST | Ask an adult to help with this activity. Ask your adult to put up to 10 small items on a tray. Count the items. Your adult can then cover the tray and carefully remove some of the items and put them by the side of the tray. How many did they take away? Count back from your starting number (counting the removed items) to find out how many are left on the tray. | |
| SHOULD | Draw a number line from 0-20. Use the number line to count back to find the answer to the following questions. Remember to start from the highest number and count backwards! There were 5 children in the park. 3 went home. How many children were left in the park? There are 12 socks on a washing line and 5 blow away. How many are left? | |
| COULD | Use a number line and count back to answer the questions. 10-3= 7-4 = Start from 8 and count back 5. What is your answer? Start from 5 and count back 5. What is your answer? Which two calculations have the same answer? How do you know? | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Forgetful Freddie has 10 marbles he lost 6. He counted back on his fingers and got to 5. What mistake did he make? How many marbles did he really have left? |
Foundation subjects
| subject | Music | |
| Learning Objective/Focus: | To experiment with different sounds. | |
| Main input (explanation) | Collect some recycled materials to make a shaker. You will need: Plastic bottle, yoghurt pot or other containers, coloured paper, stickers, dried rice (or other fillings such as dried pasta or lentils). | |
| Activities MUST | Fill the empty pot or bottle with some dried fillings to make the rattle sound. Cover the open end of the pot or bottle with paper or another container. Secure in place with sticky tape. Surround the shaker with coloured paper and stickers. Experiment with using your shaker to make sounds. You could try moving it in different ways such as rolling it, or shaking it sideways. Does the sound change? | |
| SHOULD | Use your instrument to create your own tune or song. | |
| COULD | Experiment with different containers and fillings to see what different sounds the shakers make. | |

Happy music making!
