Week 7 Activities
WEEK 6
MATHS – TIME – Practice reading and telling the time.
Children should be able to:-
– Tell the time using the 12 hour and 24 hour clock to the nearest minute.
– Know the number of seconds in a minute.
– know the number of hours in a day.
– know the number of days in each month.
– Know the number of days in a year and leap year.
– Calculate how long something lasts. (e.g. How long it takes to complete a task, using the start
and finish time to work it out; looking at a tv guide – how long does a programme last?…)
There are 3 different units depending on how competent your child is at telling the time.
i) O’clock and half past for the children who cannot tell the time.
ii) 5 minute intervals for the children who know o’clock and half past and still struggle with minutes past the hour.
iii) Digital time for the children who are confident at telling the time using an analogue clock.
All children should learn by heart, the months of the year rhyme.

Week 6 Activities
WEEK 5
MATHS – 3D Shapes – Everyday 3D Shapes PowerPoint.
– Names of 3D Shapes – use the sheet to help you name different 3D Shapes.
– 3D Shape Hunt – Look around your house and garden. Find as many 3D shapes as you can and
name them.
– You might want to draw those objects and label the 3D shape.
– You might want to create a table and tally how many of each shape you can find.
– You might want to create a graph or pictogram to show the number of 3D shapes you have
found.
– Properties of 3D Shapes PowerPoint.
– Making 3D Models – Make your own 3D shapes and then use these models to complete the
Properties of 3D Shapes Challenge below.
– Properties of 3D Shapes Challenge – name the shapes and describe their properties.
– Name that 3D Shape Quiz PowerPoint.
– Name that Shape – 2D and 3D shapes.
OTHER IDEAS:-
– GUESS THE 3D SHAPE – Play with a partner. Describe a 3D shape using it’s properties. Can
you partner guess the 3D shape you are describing?
– Try drawing 3D Shapes – Draw the 3D shapes and label them.
– NETS – You may want to use paper or card to make a 3D shape – it’s net is the flat outline you
create before folding it into a 3D shape. Which nets and which 3D shapes can you make?
Week 5 Activities
WEEK 4
MATHS – 2D Shapes – Everyday 2D Shapes PowerPoint.
– Names of 2D Shapes – use the sheet to help you name different 2D Shapes.
– 2D Shape Hunt – Look around your house and garden. Find as many 2D shapes as you can and
name them.
– You might want to draw those objects and label the 2D shape.
– You might want to create a table and tally how many of each shape you can find.
– You might want to create a graph or pictogram to show the number of 2D shapes you have
found.
– Properties of 2D Shapes PowerPoint.
– Properties of 2D Shapes Worksheet – name the shapes and describe their properties.
– Name that 2D Shape Quiz PowerPoint.
– What am I? 2D Shapes PowerPoint.
– GUESS THE 2D SHAPE – Play with a partner. Describe a 2D shape using it’s properties. Can
you partner guess the 2D shape you are describing?
– Drawing 2D Shapes – Draw the 2D shapes and label them.
– You might want to draw a 2D Shape picture using different 2D Shapes.
– You could draw a picture and colour in all of the different 2D shapes. (E.g. squares colour blue,
circles colour yellow…)
– You might want to create a repeating pattern / tessellation using 1 shape. (E.g. Draw triangles
or rectangles touching so there is no space in between – think about how the hexagon patches
on a football join…)

WEEK 2
MATHS – Measures – Length, weight and capacity.
Length – estimate the length of various objects around the house and then measure the actual length to see if you were correct.
Draw and measure lines of varying lengths in mm and cm.
Weight – Use scales to estimate and then measure the actual weight of objects around the house.
Capacity – Fill different containers with water – estimate how much water is in that container and then use a measuring jug to measure the actual volume of water in that container.

Mental Arithmetic Test 1.
WEEK 1
Here are a range of activities that the children can work through to reinforce and practice their skills in a variety of areas of mathematics.
TIME
– Talk to your child about the minute and second hands on a clock.
– Can they tell the time talking about minutes to and minutes past the hour? Ask them constantly.
– Can they add and subtract time? Work out how long an event lasts? What time will it finish?
– Can your child read the digital time?
– Use the tv guide to work out how long programmes last in minutes?
– Know the number of seconds in an hour; hours in a day; know the number of days in each month and a year and leap year.
FRACTIONS – Can they add and subtract fractions? (e.g. 1/5 + 3/5 = 4/5)
– Can your child work out and shade fractions of shapes?
– Can your child work out fractions of numbers? (e.g. 1/2 of £20 = £10; 1/5 of £100; 2/4 of £30…) Link it to their
timestables – to find a quarter divide by 4.
SHAPE – Can your child identify and name 2D and 3D shapes around the house?
– Can your child explain the properties and describe those 2D and 3D shapes?
– Play a game of ‘Name that shape’ – one person describe the shape, the other guess the name of the shape.
