Cut out the Numicon shapes below. They look a bit like the Numberblocks with their odd blocks and even tops don’t they? Can you sort them into odd and even numbers?

12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 11

Use the numicon shapes to help you colour the caterpillars below. Colour the even num-bers green and the odd numbers blue. To make the number 11 to 20 use the ten numicon to help you.

Eg to make 12 use the ten and two shapes

Put on your pattern spotting specs! Did you notice any patterns?

Do you remember the Number Cruncher song that Mrs Neal sings with you in school meeting. You can join in with the children at this school and sing along too!

Tuesday Objective: To tell the time (o’clock)

In Year 1, children learn to tell the time to o’clock and half past. Today we will focus on just o’clock.

To help you to tell the time, make your own clock! There is a craft clock you can make on the following page, or you can make it out of paper plates like in the picture. You may a different idea about making a clock, feel free to do that too! Look at the explanation below, and practise making o’clock .

If you don’t have a split pin, a little blob of blu-tak should keep the hands of the clock in place while you turn the hour hand!

Actvities

Once you have made your clock, do these activities with an adult.

1. Start by showing your child, the time (just o’clock times). It is a good idea to start with 12 o’clock, then doing 1 o’clock, 2 o’clock and keep going in order. This will help your child to see that the long minute hand is staying the same at 12, but the short hour hand is changing.

2. This time mix it up a little but still focusing on o’clock times. Get your child to close their eyes, open their eyes, can they tell you the time.

3. This time, ask your child to show you and make the time on their clocks. Remember to just practise o’clock.

Make sure you stick the numbers around the clock in the correct place! You could write them in if you would prefer.

To do! Ask an adult to set hourly alarms on their phone for o’clock times throughout the day. Then look at a clock when the alarm it goes off. Can you tell your grown up what time it is?

Wednesday Objective: To tell the time: o’clock

Draw the hands on the clock to show these times. Remember to make the minute hand longer, and the hour hand shorter.

Use the clock you made yesterday and practise reading and making the time (o'clock). Then read the times on the clocks below and write them in. The first one has been done for you.

2 o’clock

Thursday Objective: To tell the time: half past

Use the clock you made on Tuesday and recap your learning about turns by turning the long minute hand just like you did with your turn machine a few weeks ago to make…

make a full turn

make a half turn

make a quarter turn

Look at the two clock below, what do you notice about the hour hand and the minute hand? Do you know what time Archie and Isla go to bed? Today we are moving on to telling the time when it shows half past the hour!

Isla Archie

To do! Ask an adult to set hourly alarms on their phone for half past the hour, throughout the day. Then look at a clock when it goes off. Can you tell your grown up what time it is?

Practical maths: Use the clocks you made and practise reading and making the time when it shows half past the hour. Just like on Tuesday it might be helpful if the adult makes the times in order starting with half past 1, half past 2 etc. Then ask your child to show and make times for you. The tricky thing here is that the shorter hour hand will point half way between one hour and the next, it will have gone past the hour.

Activity: Read the times on the clocks below and write them in. The first one has been done for you.

half past 5 half past 1 half past 3 half past 9

Half past 7

Draw the hands on the clock to show these times. Remember to make the minute hand longer, and the hour hand shorter.

Friday Objective: To tell the time: o’clock and half past (Reasoning)

Today’s activities really need you to explain to your adult which clock s are correct and if there is a mistake what is wrong. See if you can use the words minute hand and hour hand when you are talking about the clocks.

Read the instructions and draw hands on the clock.

The minute hand is pointing at the six.

The hour hand is half way between 10 and 11.

What is the time on the clock?
