Valentine’s Day - Numeracy Provision
Activity mats for the numeracy area in the provision.
Children need to make the correct number of hearts out of play dough.
Children need to build a tower of cubes to match the number on the heart.
Hearts on numbers - order numbers
Queen’s Jubilee
We were learning about money. We linked it to the Queen’s Jubilee.
The children need to match the value of the stamp to the correct postcard.
e.g. Miss West’s stamp is 19p. Can you find 19p? Can you make 10p using coins? How many ways can you make 19p?
We used this in the provision whilst learning about the Jubilee.
Then we wrote our own postcards about what we enjoyed during the Jubilee celebration.
Tally Chart of Favourite Pet

Whole class task
Children vote for their favourite pet.
Discuss recording votes as a tally chart.
Count the votes and write the number in the last box.
Editable Word document is included, as well as a PDF.
During subtraction week, we carried out 3 activities.
We used the ‘Playdough Smash’ laminated sheet to make blobs of playdough up to 10. Then we used whiteboard pens to write subtraction number sentences. When children took numbers away, they smashed the playdough then counted to see how many were left.
We used the purse and the 10 frame to pay for items in the shop. We started with 10p (1p in each square) the we took pennies away to find out how much we had left.
We used the differentiated worksheets to cross out the objects to see how many were left.
