Maths week beginning 4th May

Lesson 1: Making arrays to count in groups

Watch this video to see how to count in arrays. 

After the video can you make some arrays and count the objects? Remember to arrange the objects in rows and columns like I did. They are easy to count if you arrange them in groups of 2, 5 or 10.

Draw some pictures of your objects in your book.

Lesson 2: Doubling. 

In this lesson we are going to double numbers. 

Watch the video by clicking on the butterfly picture to see how I double some numbers.

Can you make some lovely doubling butterflies like I did in the video? Draw a butterfly and fold your picture in half. Then open it up and put some spots on one wing with paint. Fold it in half again and press down. You should have double the number of spots now!

Here are some you could start with: 

If you want to try doubling some bigger numbers watch my video here on how to do this with 10s and 1s.

Lesson 3: Practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. 

Watch these songs to help you practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
