Monday 6th July
Today I want you to have a go at finding 1 more than a number.
Choose some objects - you will need 10!
For each question, count out the first amount, then add one more - the answer will be the next number you would say if you are counting on. So one more than 6 is 7 - because 6 comes after 7!
I have written you ten number sentences to have a go at...
5 + 1 =
6 + 1 =
7 + 1 =
8 + 1 =
9 + 1 =
What do you notice about the answers above?
4 + 1 =
3 + 1 =
2 + 1 =
1 + 1 =
0 + 1 =
What do you notice about the answers above?
Tuesday 7th July
Today I want you to have a go at finding 1 less than a number.
Choose some objects - you will need 10!
For each question, count out the first amount, then take one away (subtract one) - the answer will be the number you would say next if you are counting backwards. So one less than 5 is 4 - because 4 is one number smaller than 5!
I have written you ten number sentences to have a go at...
6 - 1 =
7 - 1 =
8 - 1 =
9 - 1 =
10 - 1 =
What do you notice about the answers above?
5 - 1 =
4 - 1 =
3 - 1 =
2 - 1 =
1 - 1 =

Today I want you to practise one more, one less.
I am going to give you a list of numbers - can you write the number sentences to find out one more and one less by yourself?

Thursday 9th July
Today I want you to have a go at estimating - this is making a sensible guess about how many objects you can see before counting to check.
It's really important that you just have a quick check and don't count them until you've made your guess!
Questions for each picture:
- how many do you estimate?
- how many are there actually?
- did you make a sensible guess/estimate?
- did you guess more or less than the actual amount?
Friday 10th July
Today I would like you to start learning to count in 2s.
I have found a video that will hopefully help you - can you move along to the music too?
It starts with counting to and from 20 as a warm up, and then at 1:05 he moves on to count in 2s. See if you can have a go a few times and then remember it afterwards.

Below are some pictures - can you count them in 2s rather than 1 at a time?
