This week we will be counting in 2s and 5s. Today we will be looking at how we can make counting in 2s using fun resources that you have at home. 

First, watch the video below and try some of the activities.

• Then, look in a mirror, how many eyes, ears, and nostrils do you have? How many altogether? Did you try counting in 2s?
• Can you set the dinner table using a knife and fork? How many sets did you make? How many did you have altogether?
• Try pairing up all the shoes in your house (remember to put them back when you have finished!) Can you count in 2s?
• When you are helping to put socks away, can you count how many socks you have put away altogether?
• Set up your lego, counters or use any toys and practise counting in 2s.
• Teach someone at home how to count in twos.  HAVE FUN!!

Today you will be continue to count in 2s. Remember use resources that you have at home to help you. You could try making a ten frame at home using an old pillow case and use permanent marker to make the 10 squares.

Today we will be looking at counting in 5s. Try the different activities in the video and also use resources that you have at home to help practise counting in 5s.

You could collect all the gloves that you have in your house (we have 5 fingers so count in steps of 5).

You could make groups of 5 using toys and count how many you have altogether - remember try counting in steps of 5.
