Good Morning, Nursery.
Yesterday, we were adding two amounts together.
Today’s task: We are going to be investigating different ways to make 5.You need 2 plates and 5 items of food. They can be 5 different foods or 5 of the same.
Share the 5 items of food onto the 2 plates. Count how many you have on each plate and then count them all together. Then, try sharing them a different way to see if you can make different numbers on each plate.
I chose 5 different fruits and vegetables and I had two turns.
You can do this as many times as you like to find lots of different ways to make 5. You can record the numbers in any way that you choose.
I am looking forward to hearing all about it.
Love from Miss Siswick.
PRINTABLE VERSION: N Maths Tues
Good morning Miss Siswick,
With help Nicolas divided the fruit/vegetables correctly between two plates (4+1; 2+3; 5+0). Photo to follow.
Greetings from Nicolas
Good morning Miss Siswick
We used 5 apples today to make the number 5.
We exchanged apples between us and counted how many apples each one has on their plate and then added the total of all apples which was always 5.
Miss you
Joseph & Sophia
Good morning,
Adelaide put first 2 fruits/vegs on 1 plate and 3 on the another one. Then 3 and 2. And then 1 fruit vs. 4. Each time I made her count them altogether…and it was always 5! It’s magic.
Good morning, Grace took two plates and chose a carrot, yoghurt, apple, orange and an onion. At first she put all the items on one plate. She understood 0+5=5. Then I asked her to change the groups so she did 2+3 and the 1 +4.
Morning. James loved doing this exercise and got all right.
1 on the green plate and 4 on the blue plate = 5
2 on the green plate and 3 on the blue plate and on we continued until all number combinations had been completed. We then reversed the colours too.
Sending photos now.
Well done; Nicolas, Joseph, Sophia, Adelaide, Grace and James.
You found lots of different ways to make 5.
Good morning. Sam chose some of the ingredients of his favourite food, spaghetti bolognese. He counted 3 on one plate and two on the other, then 4 on one plate and 1 on the other and lastly 5 on one plate and none on the other.
Well done, Sam. Are you going to cook your favourite dinner for everyone when you have finished?
We played with 2 onions and 3 lemons to make combination of 5.
We 3+2 makes 5
2+3 makes 5
1+4 makes 5
Well done, Leopold.

Good morning Miss Siswick!
I found these ways of making 5:
5 + 0
1 + 4
3 + 2
Well done, Gabriel.
Esmeralda chose 4 lemons and an apple for this task. She loves lemons!!
She made up 5 in these ways:
5+0: 5
4+1: 5
3+2:5
She explored all the ways that these items can be split into two plates
Alexander decided to use biscuits! sorry for the digression
we have sent the picture, he split them into 3 and 2 biscuits… one guess who eat all the biscuits!
Hello Miss Siswick ,
Caspian chose three types of different fruits and two types of vegetables.
5 + 0 = 5
4 + 1 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
Caspian extended his adventure to look for number 5 all over the house and came up with a few different ones .
Well done; Esme, Alexander and Caspian.
I would like to eat 3 biscuits and 2 biscuits as well!
Did you all eat your fruits and vegetables, Caspian and Esme?
Hello Miss Siswick
Ania choose 3 tangerines and 2 pears at the beginning chose
3 + 2 = 5
