Good Morning, Reception.

Well done for your fantastic sock Maths yesterday!

Today we are going to solve some word puzzles about socks and shoes. You can record your answers in any way that you chose and you could use real socks and shoes to help you to work out the answers!

When you are working out the difference (how many more?) between two groups, it can make it easier to draw or use real objects and lay them out like this:

That way it is easier to see how many more there are in one group than the other.

Try this one first:

Now try these ones:

I am looking forward to hearing all about your Maths today.

Love from Miss Siswick.

PRINTABLE VERSION:R Maths Weds 6.5

It would really help me if you could upload photos  straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.

  23. Hi!!!!
    I was rubbish at drawing socks and boots. But at the end I got better.
    Are you good at drawing socks and boots?
    It was easy to do the sums!
    Typed by Marcus Clark!
    x + x + x + x = 4 kisses!

  24. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Marcus. I don’t think I am very good at drawing shoes and socks either. You are very good at typing though!

  25. I did the exercise and I sent a picture.
    I had fun to draw boots ? ? and socks ? to play with. We did a lot of cases. Sometimes Cinderfella had more sometimes it was Harry or Will.

  26. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Cesar. I love the boots and shoes! I hope that they helped you with your Maths.
