Comparisions and Differences
Here are 3 days (Tuesday-Thursday) of Maths activities. Remember you also have hard copy worksheets you can use and to start off with Mad Math Minute and number wiritng pracitce.
1. Comparing length and widthUse a collection of ribbons, string or cut up strips of paper (depending what you have accessible)
*challenge your child to find different ways to sort and order the ribbons/string/paper (could be colours, lengths, widths) *Talk about how they chose to sort and order the items. Are there other ways you could do it? *Place 2 ribbons/string/paper pieces next to each other, "which is longer?" *Ask your child to find one shorter than one you show them. *Link longer and shorter to tall and short with a follow up worksheet ![]()

2. Comparing weightBelow are two activities, depending what you have at home you could do one or both of them.
Bags of Books *Use a selection of books from around the house and two bags that you can't see through. *Put some books in each bag (one heavier than the other). Talk about which one is heavier and which is lighter. *Get your child to guess which bag has more books inside. Open the bags and check. *Talk about how the bag with the biggest number of books may not always mean the heaviest. Why? (Size, thickness, number of pages of books). Balls of Playdough *Make some playdough, or use some you have at home already. Split the dough into different sized balls. *Compare two balls of playdough, holding one in each hand talking about which is lighter and which is heavier. *Continue this with different sized balls. *Try with eyes closed. |
3. Differences in pairs of objects*Find pairs of objects around the house and ask what is the same and what is different?
*Cut strips of paper. Choosing two at a time talk about the things that are the same and the things that are different. *Using Numicon shapes select two at a time and ask about the similarities and differences. *You could follow up with a worksheet looking for the picture with what is different. Get your child to draw in what is missing on each line ![]()

Writing
Here are some writing ideas and sentence starters to choose from for this week. Aim to write one story each day.
Get your child to choose one (or more) their favourite stories, take a photo and send it to Mrs Coe, I will reply to them :)
*"On ANZAC day…"
*If you made ANZAC cookies in the weekend, write about how you made them OR what they tasted like.
*Go on an insect hunt in the garden and write about what you found.
*"I like…"
*"I went…"
*"I see…"
*Write about what it would be like to live in an IGLOO. "In my igloo…"
You could also base writing off something you have read, done or seen that day or during the week. Your child could also write about what they are going to share for news.
