Some other ideas for maths activities are:
- Sing, chant, march, speed recall your times tables facts - race an adult ... can you score more correct answers in 30 seconds than they can?
- Measure (approximately) the height up your stairs at home and calculate how many times you would need to climb the stairs to climb the equivalent height of a famous mountain (no. of times = height of mountain/height of stairs). Can you climb Snowden or Everest in your home over Easter?
- Practice telling the time - 12 hour (am/pm), 24 hour , analogue (round face) and digital
- work out time ‘intervals’ - "How long until dinner?"
- Playing maths related board games – Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, dominoes
- Play card games that use maths skills
- Practise number bonds to 10, 20, 50 or 100 (or 1000 Y5/Y6) - “83 and …?” “...17”
- Use money skills in a pretend toy/food shop at home
