This week our Year 1 children have been learning all about odd and even numbers.. They are incredibly secure at counting from 0-10 and fantastic at counting backwards.
We have been recognising the value of numicon and organising it into odd and even numbers.
‘Even numbers have a flat top’.
‘Odd numbers are made of pairs and one more’.

We did the same with numerals!

Help at home: by discussing numbers and how they reach their value. E.g. ‘4 is made of 2 pairs, 5 is made of 2 pairs and one more.’
