This week in maths we have been rounding numbers up or down to the nearest multiple of ten, eg 46 rounds up to 50 but 44 goes down to 40. We have learnt the rule that, as 5 is halfway between multiples of ten, we always round up. To reinforce our work you might like to play a rounding game: place in order multiples of 10 cards, 10, 20, 30 etc. Throw 2 dice and write them on a blank card eg 26. Your child then place the card under the multiple of 10 that it rounds to. This can be extended to 3-digit numbers for children who can confidently round 2-digit numbers.
Next week we are starting the week by counting on in 10s, 100s and 50s from zero. We will be finishing the week by recognising odd and even numbers to at least 50. (There are lots of catchy songs on U Tube about odd and even numbers that you might like to look at).
