Good Morning, Reception.

I hope that you enjoyed playing the higher and lower game yesterday.

Today, we are going to see how many objects can fit into a shoe!

You will need; one of your shoes or slippers and lots of small objects, for example,  Legos. blocks,  very small toys, vehicles, figures or animals.

Choose which objects to fill the shoe with first. (These must be all the same, for example. all blocks)

Once the shoe is full, look at it together.

Write down your name and the name of your grown up.

Each of you must estimate (guess) how many objects are in the shoe.

Write down your guesses next to your names.

Take out the things one by one and count them as you do.

  • How many objects were in the shoe?

  • Write down the number.

  • How close were your guesses?

  • Who was closest?

Repeat this as many times as you can using different items to fill the shoe. You should get better at estimating!

Have fun!  I am looking forward to hearing all about it.

Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be at school so I will not be able to respond until  later today.)

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.
