I adore playing with numbers, so here are a couple of ideas.

Firstly, think of a number and place this in the middle of your piece of paper. Then put a circle around the number. Now write down as many questions for that number as you can think of. The challenge is to write as many questions for every operation ( x, ÷, + and -). Be imaginative and creative!

Numbers away!

When I look around my house I can’t help but count some of the things we have…

1= The room has one door

2= The cupboards have two doors

3= There are three cards on the mantlepiece

4 = There are four bowls on the table

5= There are five coats on the door

6 = There are six candles in the front room…

How far can you count with the items in your house? What is the largest number of things you have?

Remember you can email slt@petworthprimary.co.uk pictures of your work. It is always good to see what you have been doing.
