This week we are learning to subtract by counting back from a given number.
Warm up:
This week we would like you to practise ordering random numbers. Shuffle your number cards and pick 3 to start with. Can you order them starting with the smallest? Challenge-pick 5 cards and order them in decreasing order, starting with the greatest number!

Subtracting numbers by counting back.
Last week we practised taking away practically singing nursery rhymes and moving objects away while playing games.
This week we are learning to subtract by jumping and counting back on a number line. The bravest will also learn to record their own subtraction sentences!
Let’s try to take away 3 from 5, it can also be written 5-3.
Always start on the largest number, in this case it is 5, and count back the number you need to take away, in this case it is 3.
Position the frog on 5
Then make the frog jump back 3 steps.
What number does it land on?
5 take away 3 is 2
or 5 – 3 = 2
Let’s practise!
Practise jumps back from different numbers on the number line using a dice. What number do you land on?
Use the link to practise further:
Try to solve the subtraction sentences below.
Remember to start jumping back from the greatest number. Check your results by crossing out the objects you are taking away. How many are left?
For the bravest mathematicians, try these:

Key questions to ask your child:
Can you take away the correct amount?
What is the new amount?
Can you show me the take away / subtract sign?
How many left?
Is the number getting bigger or smaller?
What does subtract / take away mean?

This week we are learning to take away practically
Warm up:

This week we would like you to have fun creating symmetrical patterns. You can do this in your house using every day objects or you can step outside in the sun and use natural objects.
How about painting or chalking symmetrical patterns? You can also cut out shapes and stick them to make a symmetrical pattern.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar story also teaches us about the days of the week too. Watch the video below to learn the names of the days.
Day 1
Maths
Your child has been issued with a username and password for the online game called NUMBOTS.
https://play.numbots.com/#/account/school-login/48230.
Your child can log in and complete basic number activities which are linked to their level. Your child has been issued with their username and password however, if this is lost then please email the teacher on reception@dmpa-tkat.org. It is expected that your child accesses these resources for a minimum of 15 minutes per day. Teachers can access and monitor who is using these resources.
Day 2
Maths
Today we would like you to practise matching the numeral to the quantity. We have attached a worksheet which you can access, or your child can play some of the games below. If you are struggling with this, you can use things in the home. An example of this is calling a number out and the child uses their toys to count the correct amount.
