Good Morning, Reception.

Well done for your great number work yesterday.

Today, we are going to solve another Maths puzzle.

Look at these scarves. Can you say which one is the longest? Can you find a scarf that is shorter than the longest one? Are there any scarves that are the same length as another scarf?

Can you solve the puzzle? All of the answers are about the same scarf. Can you say which one it is?

Now, choose one of the scarves but don’t tell your grown up which it is. Answer the questions about the scarf. Can the grown up get the right answer?

Can you find some long things at home such as scarves, string, ties, or socks?

Can you put them in order from the shortest to the longest?

Can you talk about them using the language ‘longer than’ and ‘shorter than’?

I am looking forward to hearing all about your Maths today.

Love from Miss Siswick.

PRINTABLE VERSION:R Maths Thursday

It would really help me if you could upload photos  straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.

  1. James was very good at sorting out the scarves. He was also good at arranging things in the correct length from shortest to longest.
    We used lego to do this.

    Well done, everyone, for your wonderful Maths this morning. You have all been working very hard and using the language of size.

    I am very sorry that I am replying so late this morning as I was phoning people at home. Hopefully, I will get to talk to each of you in the next few days. Love from Miss Siswick.

  6. Marcus really enjoyed this task. He was able to solve the puzzle using the clues. He especially liked finding things of different lengths and putting them in shortest to longest order!
