Maths
Watch and sing Numberblocks, 'Ten Green Bottles sitting on a wall' (see below). Ask your child to represent the song with their fingers. What is happening each time a bottle is subtracted?
How many are left each time?
Using some objects, create some subtraction number problems and draw the pictures.
Eg. I bought 8 apples from the shop and I eat 3 of them. How many are left?
Discuss that you can cross them off to to help us subtract (cross off 3 apple drawings).
What would this look like in a number sentence? 8-3 =
Then using the number line below, how could we use this to work out this problem? Discuss how you do jump backwards.
Create different number problems together to practise this.
