This is the next in our series of 2D shape sets of maths worksheets. In this set we look at recognising circles, triangles and squares and there is a great challenge to complete: draw a train using just rectangles, circles and squares. If you have plastic shapes available this could really be of help in tracing the shapes for a really neat drawing.

There is also  a page where the ‘odd one out’ has to be chosen. This is an important concept as, for example, the first question on the page shows three rectangles and one triangle, but the rectangles are not identical.

Whether it is snakes, ladders or trousers, there are plenty of opportunities on these worksheets to use the language of measurement, in this case, longer and shorter. Being able to correctly compare different lengths is vital before actual measurement using standard units is introduced later.

Use these pages as a starting point for comparing lengths of objects in the real world; in the garden, in the street or in the kitchen.

Longer and shorter

Like all young children, your child will need plenty of practice working with money, at first just with 1p and 2p coins, then with 5p and 10p coins. The best way to do this is to use real coins although it is possible to buy sets of card coins. (Often 100 card pennies costs more to buy than 100 real pence!) Add the 10p coin to the other coins to find out how much the rabbit has. Why not use real coins to help? This is just one of a fantastic range of fun  maths activities which will quickly help your child become confident with number and enjoy their maths.

As suggested by several of our members, including Anne and Bev, here are two pages of blank clock faces. These are ideal for helping with telling the time. Remember, with young children, start by just showing the time to the whole hour and then move on to showing half hours. Ask your child what time they do things, such as get up in the morning, have lunch, watch a favourite TV programme or go to bed. (Our turtles in the creative pool get up really early in the morning as they are very keen on having a good breakfast of worms before creating the next fun set of worksheets or games!)

These clock faces can be found in our Further Resources, under Number Lines etc.

This is the second set of maths worksheets on adding 3 small numbers. These are harder and need a different approach to the first set because a number has to be put in to make the number sentences correct.

For example 2 + ? + 7 = 13

There are a number of different ways that this can be approached and a number line has been included to help.

One approach is to start with the 13 and count back 2 to make 11, and then count back 7 to make 4.

Another approach is to add the 2 and 7 to make 9 and then count on from 9 to 13, which is 4.

It is always interesting to sit and discuss with your child the approach that they are taking and the reasons for it, especially with questions like these. It would also be a good idea to have some counters or cubes so that the task can be seen in a practical way.

(Eg Put 2 cubes out, then add 7 more and then add one at a time until 13 is reached.)

Adding 3 numbers (2)

Anne from Grimsby and Bev from Aldershot have both asked if we could make some more pages on time. So it was straight down to the depths of the creative pool where our turtles leapt at the chance of coming up with some more time worksheets. Here we have four worksheets on reading the time to the half hour. This involves both writing the time in words and numbers (e.g. half past 7) and drawing the hands on a clock face to show the time. Shortly they will also be producing some pages showing blank clock faces, which will be incredibly useful: we just have to make sure we keep feeding them plenty of fish, insects and worms!
