Counting

• Using a range of 3-D shapes, build a tower. Count the shapes as they are placed on the tower.
• If some fall off, practise counting backwards.
• Start again and continue counting forwards.
• How many can we get to?

Number Bonds

• Give each child a piece of Numicon. When I say 3 stand up…When I say 6 stand up… Continue to revise number recognition like this then…
• Hold up a 4 piece ‘When I say 4…’ Children who have 6 stand up with their piece…. ‘We say 6!’
• Continue to practise all the number bonds... ‘When I say 8…’ ‘We say 2!’ etc.
