For maths today, I would like you to continue learning outside in the sunshine. In my cupboard I found some very exciting chalks and thought we should use them to help with our subtraction number sentences. Hopefully you’ve got some chalk at home to help you, if not can you find something else to write with outside? You might use mud, water and paint brush or paper and stick it to the floor. Get creative!

Your first task is not order or write numbers 10-15. Think about which number comes where. You are then going to add objects from outside underneath each number. Remember to carefully count these. Have a look at mine below.

After, make a number from 1-10. Just like mine in the photo. Then ask an adult to make you a subtraction number sentence. I wrote mine on the floor. Find a toy or object and put it on the first number of your number sentence and then slither down the number sentence and take away the right amount. What number did you land on? That’s your answer. Have a look at my step-by-step example below.

Now have a go at these number sentences using the number line again:

7 - 3 =
4 - 2 =
10 - 4 =
9 - 2 =
