Here are some maths activities:
-At the bottom of the page there are some maths activity mats uploaded as a pdf.
-Roll a dice twice (you could use an interactive dice if you cannot find one at home) and add the two numbers together. Make 10 numbers. Once you have created 10 numbers, start rolling the dice twice again. When you add the numbers together if your answer is on your grid then you can cross it off. Continue until all your numbers are crossed off. You could play a variation of this where you roll the dice three times and add the numbers.
-10 objects game - collect 10 objects e.g. cubes, pasta, teddies -Play with a partner and take it in turns to take away 1, 2 or 3 of the objects away at a time. The winner is the one who takes away the last object.
