Maths

For maths this afternoon we are going to find some pairs!

A pair is a set of two things used together as one unit. 

Such as a pair of socks or a pair of gloves.

There are two socks and two gloves but you need to use them together as a pair. 

I would like you have a good think and have a look around the house for 3 different pairs of any object. 

This might be gloves, socks, mittens, shoes- can you think of any other pairs?

I want you to find 3 pairs and then see if you count each individual object.

How many have you got? 

After you have done this I would like your grown up to hide each individual sock/glove/shoe around the house and then I want you to hunt to find the matching pairs- these are the items that are the same and belong together. 

We have had lots of fun playing this in school so I hope you enjoy! 

Send me lots of photographs and videos so that I can see! 

Excellent work!

I will leave you now with a number song to end our maths.

Sing along and use your fingers to represent the different numbers.

Show your grown ups how super you are!
