Number Sense
This pack helps your students to come to terms with numbers between 0 and 20.
Children need to know how to write the numeral, see the collection and know what comes before and after.
They need to see each number on a number line, on a ten frame as well as have practise writing it.
This pack will assist you to do this.

Sunday Night Maths Linky - 8th December
Roll A Christmas Tree
A fun and easy Christmas game for students in Foundation to Grade 2.
A free download from our digital stores!
What you need:
ü ‘Roll A Christmas Tree’ template (one per student)
ü Dice (six sided)
ü Coloured pencils/textas/crayons
How to play:
v Play in small groups (approximately 4)
v Take turns to roll the dice, then colour the corresponding section of
the Christmas Tree
v Colour each section once - if you roll the same number again – miss
that turn
v The first person to colour all sections of their Christmas Tree is the
winner
Extension:
o
When a player wins the game – keep playing
until all members of the group have finished their tree. All players continue
to roll the dice, instead of colouring sections of the Christmas Tree – add
your own decorations/presents under the tree
(however many were rolled)
o
Make your own game – draw a Christmas
picture using 6 different shapes. Give each shape a number between 1 – 6, copy
and play with your friends (use blank ‘Roll a __________’ template)
o
Use a 10 sided dice – add 4 decorations to
the list that must be rolled before the game is finished
Have you got a great Christmas game to share???

Sunday Night Maths Linky - 1st December
Crazy Catalogues!
December has arrived and with it comes the silly season.
In our letterboxes come catalogue after catalogue, filled with everything you could possible imagine - all at a discount, must have price!
Rather than throw all of these away - why not make use of them?!?
Start collecting catalogues and make the most of the maths inside!
Here are 5 ideas to get you started...
Use a range of catalogues (toys, groceries, sporting, jewelry, car accessories, home-wares, etc).
Select the activities that are appropriate for your age group of students.
- Select any 5 items you would like for Christmas and order them from least to most expensive. Then combine your items with a friend and order all 10.
- Select 5 food items (that you can see the weight of) and work out how much each would be per 100 grams. Which is the best value?
- Choose any 3 items and work out the average cost for the three.
- Choose a gift that you think all students in your class would like - how much would it cost to buy one for everyone? What are the different ways you could work this out? Which is the most efficient?
- Find 5 items that are within a given price range (for example $5.50 to $6.00) or within a set price difference from each other (for example within 20 cents of each other - if the first item selected is $3.00 then all other items must not be any more expensive than $3.20 or less than $2.80).
Add to our Crazy Catalogue list!
