Helping your child with their maths work.
Adding up and taking away.
In Reception the children learn to add up by counting on using their fingers or objects.
For example
6+4=
They put the biggest number in their head and count on using fingers or object - 6 in head count on - 7 8 9 10
It is the same for taking away, but they count back from the biggest number
For example
8-3=
They put the biggest number in their head and count back using their fingers or objects-
8 in head, count back 7 6 5
Maths activities will be uploaded on this page and children can complete the tasks in the home learning book.
