Maths
Year 1: This morning we have a maths warm up to get our brains working, try to complete this independently.
Today we are going to be learning about 1 more and 1 less. Try to count on or back in your head but you can use a 100 square if that will help you.
Click on the daily 10 link below and either Addition – one more or Subtraction – one digit less to practise.
Blue group:
Today we are recapping what we know about shapes. Click on the worksheet below and see if you can name the shapes. Now try making some of these 2D shapes using the geoboard and elastic bands on this link:
Year 2: Today we will look at finding a fraction of an amount. The best way to do this is to share the amount into the amount of parts make the whole. You could use pieces of pasta or small toys to help you do this.
For example, if the question asked you to find ¾ of 8, you can get 8 pieces of pasta and share them into 4 equal groups as we know the whole is made up of 4 parts. When you have done this you will have 4 groups with 2 in each. You need to count 3 groups as the fraction is asking you to find 3/4. When you count how many are in 3 groups you will have counted 6. So ¾ of 8 = 6.
For your challenge today you need to work out the fractions of amounts first so you can then find the pairs of fractions that equal the same amounts.
Literacy
Spelling

Do you remember the opposite song?
The prefix dis also means “not” or “opposite”. It gives the word the opposite meaning.
