Maths Out Loud

Counting

Split the class into two groups. Display a 1-100 grid. The first group say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the 2nd group say 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the 1st group say 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on alternating groups of 5 to count to 100.

Number bonds

Place children in pairs. Ask each pair to show you 10 fingers altogether, so one child might show 6 and the other might show 4. Now ask them to do this in a different way. Repeat.
