Maths activities
Monday Session 1
Starter – Listen to 5 little men in a flying saucer. Count backwards from 5 as each man flies away.

Task – (SHOW)
Model counting 10 objects out. Count forward. Then model counting backwards from 10. As you count move one object to a separate pile and count down to 0 Explain that when we are counting back we are ‘taking away’. This is called ‘subtraction’. Sometimes we need to take away as well as add. Show the chn the subtraction sign and explain what it means. Show them where they would see it in a number sentence. Reinforce language of ‘take away’ and subtraction and explain that they are special words we use to describe this operation. Complete additional activity

Show the chn the numicon shapes. Make comparisons to numbers i.e. 5 has five holes etc. Have some of the numicon shapes. Choose a 7 shape. “We want to take away 3. We can pretend to take away 3 by hiding part of the 7 shape.” Model this. Ask” “What is 7 takeaway 3?” Check with the 4 shape. Model the language: “7 takeaway 3 equals 4.” Repeat with other shapes. Ask the chn to complete some examples independently. Use the shapes to reinforce the fact that they are subtracting. Complete additional activity.
