Step 1: Activity overview for parent, carers and pupils
During this activity your child will be learning to count, recognise and represent numbers 1-5.Children can often count forward confidently beyond 5. But when counting out actual objects they can miscount by counting aloud quicker than they place down the objects.
For the practical activity, you will need:
- Numbers 1 to 5 written on separate pieces of paper or post it notes
- A variety of small objects e.g. small bricks, pasta, pencils etc.
There is a short two-minute online story and a counting song to share with your child.
There is also an online game, which is optional.
