In Maths this week, the children will continue to engage with activities that develop their understanding of composition, or the numbers within numbers.

A key focus will be on exploring ways to represent numbers using the Hungarian number pattern (die pattern).  The children will secure their understanding of the pairs of numbers that make 5, and then use double dice frames to begin to explore 6 and 7 as numbers that are composed of ‘5 and a bit’.

An activity you can play at home:

Roll a die and ask the children to represent the number shown by placing small toys or counters to represent the amount  What’s the quickest way to show 6?
