Maths in Reception

This week in Maths Reception have been investigating odds and evens. We reminded ourselves of the concept of a 'pair' being a group of 2, as we needed this concept to sort values.

We used partners, numicon and Numberblocks as well as other resources to explore number values to 10 & beyond.

"The odd ones have a sticky up bit"

"They can't all be in pairs because there's one on his own."

"We can put them in pairs that's 2s."

Some of the children then did some problem solving using tems frames, counters and larger values.
