Activity
Put on a hat and sunscreen. Grab a plastic bowl.
Counting
Go outside and explore your garden and collect objects to count. Put them in your bowl - for example gumnuts, flowers, leaves, sticks, pebbles.
Try to collect things that have already dropped onto the ground.
Count your collection in lots of different ways.
Try forwards and backwards.
Making a Pattern
Now make a repeating pattern with your objects.
Draw and label your pattern. You could even take a photo!
Describe your pattern to someone else.
How many times does your pattern repeat?
Can you add any numbers to your drawing of the pattern?
Top Tip: If you don’t have a backyard or balcony garden, collect some objects from around your house (ask an adult first!) like pieces of pasta, pegs, buttons, lego bricks, crayons, and small toys.
