Feedback on phonics workshop • Are there any issues you’d like to discuss before moving on to maths? (5 mins) A few reminders: • Ask children to point to the words • When helping children to blend, use a short pause between sounds when you model it • With ‘tricky’ words help them find ways to remember them • With long words use ‘chunking’ to decode
National Curriculum: Shape, Space & measure • Naming & describing 2-d & 3-d shape (e.g. sides, corners, faces) • Describe relative position (above, behind, etc) • Order items by height, weight, length, capacity • Use language related to time • Use language related to money • Orders familiar events • Measures time in simple ways
Shapes • Explore shapes through the environment. • Create shape pictures and models. • Learn the names of common 2d and 3d shapes. • Look at the properties of shapes and use this vocabulary to describe them e.g side, edge, corners, face. • Positional language e.g on top, next to, beside. • Directional language e.g quarter turn, half turn, full turn, left, right.
TIME • We measure time in various ways: • Days of the week • Months of the year • Seasons • Ordering daily events and matching it to times of the day • Understanding a clock • Learn to read the time in hours
weight • We learn to compare the weights of objects using vocabulary such as heavier or lighter. • We begin by becoming a human scale and feeling the difference between heavy an light e.g a tin of beans and a pencil. • Children compare the weights of objects by placing them in a scale and noticing which is heavier and why. • Children weigh objects using non-standard measure such as cubes, pasta. • Estimate how much they think the object will weigh before testing.
Measures • Children begin by learning vocab related to measuring such as taller, shorter, longer, smaller, thicker, thinner. • Compare heights with those and others. • Order objects by height and length. • Children measure and compare lengths using non-standard measures such as cubes, pencils, hands. • Children choose appropriate ways of measuring.
capacity • Children learn vocab such as full, half full and empty. • Compare how much different contains can hold. • Children measure capacity using non-standard measures such as cups. • Children estimate, before testing.
Money • Look at coins • count coins • Add coins togetherto find the totaland make up amounts (through role-play activities) • Money word problems • A very trick concept for children to understand, so the more experience they have of using coins, the better their understanding will be.
National Curriculum: Number • Count and recognise numerals to 20 • Match numerals & quantities • Finds ‘more’ and ‘less’ than a given number up to 20 • Estimates how many objects there are & checks by counting • Finds the total in 2 sets by counting all of them • Adds and subtracts two sets of numbers by counting ‘on’ and ‘back’ • Solves problems involving doubling, halving and sharing
Using a number line to count on and back • Begin with ‘more’ and ‘less’ • Point at the starting number • You jump ‘up’ for more or ‘down’ for less • Count the number of jumps • What number have you landed on? • Now use same procedure to count on to add 6 and 3. • Count back to find how many you have left if you take away 4 from 8.
Use a number line to solve these problems • One more than 8 • Three more than 6 • One less than 6 • Two less than 8 • 5+3= • 13-2=

How can you help at home? • When shopping, identify amounts with your child. Pick out the special offers and ask children to work out change. • Which shapes can you recognise in and around the home? Ask your child to describe these shapes. • At the post office, ask your child to tell you how much a package weighs. • When cooking, invite your child to measure and weigh different ingredients. • Identify important times with your child, e.g. bedtime, dinner time. • If watching sporting activities at home, ask your child to recognise the different timings, e.g. Motorsports, athletics, swimming. • Compare the height of the different members in your family. Who is the tallest / shortest? What is the difference between the tallest and shortest member in your family?
