Number bonds at home

Please could the children continue their learning at home by having a go at the games to help them learn their number bonds.

Click on the link below for a list of resources.

Games to help you learn your number bonds

Start with your number bonds to 10. You need to know them so you can instantly recall pairs of number that go together to make 10.

If this is tricky, find pairs of number that total 1 – 9 first.

Eg, Number bonds to make 5.

5 + 0, 0 + 5, 4 + 1, 1 + 4, 3 + 2, 2 + 3

If you are confident with these numbers try your number bonds to 20.

Year 2 children that are confident with 20 can move onto number bonds to 100.

A number bond is just a pair of numbers that go together to make a total.

‘Paint the Squares’ resource

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares

This is a great resource for the children to use at home. It will support them to become familiar with number order, forwards and backwards and to explore number patterns.

You can select which number you would like the number square to go up to and increase it as they become more confident.

There are also games to play in the ‘Pick a puzzle’ box.

Maths at Home

In Maths, we having been working on place value. Please find below some information and resources that will support your child at home.

Year 1 – Please practise counting from any number up to 100. Focus, in particular, on the numbers that change into the next tens number.

Eg, 19 – 20, 29 – 30, 39 – 40.

When counting this is a sticking point, they don’t know what comes after 19, 29, 39, 49 and so on.

Practise writing numbers from 0 – 20, forming numbers correctly. Lots of children form numbers back to front. This is completely normal for this age group.

Ask them to write the numbers out of order too.

Have a go at the ‘Helicopter Rescue’ game below and use ‘Paint the Squares’ to help with counting.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares

Year 2 – Practise reading, writing and counting all the numbers from 0 to 100. You should be able to count forwards and backwards from any number.

Practise counting in steps of 2, 5, and 10. It is important you can do this for when we do multiplication. Use ‘Paint the Squares’ below to help you. Look for the patterns and think about what the numbers end in.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares

If you are fluent with 2, 5 and 10, try steps of 3.

Practise counting tens and ones to work out what number is being represented. Use ‘Place Value Basketball’ below.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/place-value-basketball

Remember, don’t worry if you find something difficult. Keep trying and you will get there in the end!

Do you know your number bonds?

Number Bonds

Please click on the link below for games that will help your child to learn their number bonds. It is so important that the children know these fluently. If they can reach a point where they can recall them quickly, this knowledge will help them so much in many aspects of their maths work.

You could begin with number bonds to 5 – Which pairs of numbers total 5? Can they find all the different combinations?

When they are confident with 5, try 6, then 7 and so on.

Year 1 children – Number bonds to 10, then 20 are important to know.

Year 2 – If you are fluent with the year 1 number bonds, move on to 100. Start with multiples of 10 (60 + 40 = 100), then multiples of 5 (85 + 15 = 100), then any number bond ( 61 + 39 = 100) But if you know your number bonds to 10 this will be easy!!

Ready, Steady, Read!

In class 2, we have our reading 100 square ready to go!

From Monday, we will start to move the names of children who have read at home, had their reading record signed and put their book in the blue reading box.

When they have read 10 times they will get a housepoint and when they reach 50 and 100 they will receive a reading reward!

Please try to read daily, if possible.
