Maths

Warm up – play ‘one less’ – you say a number and then your child has to say what number is one less than yours.

Today’s game in maths is about shapes.  Have a look at the clip that explains about 2D shapes – at school we call them flat shapes.  At the end there is a little quiz to do but grown ups you might want to ask your children more questions.  Parents on children in my class (Mrs Tucker) ask them what my favourite 2D shape is … see if they remember it is a hexagon!
