Whole Number
Using your number cards, choose a number 30-50. Write the number and after this number, write about its place
value (how many tens, how many ones), plus 10 to this number and takeaway 10 from this number.
Challenge: plus 9 to your number and take 9 away from your number.
Repeat this for two more numbers.
Whole Number Numeral identification
Using your number cards 30-50 place them in a pile face down. Draw 3 lines at the top of your page. Turn one card
over at a time, say the number and write it on the middle line. Either side of the number, write the number that
comes before and after the number you have turned around. Repeat this at least 6 times.
Eg. I turned the number 37 over.
36
37

Patterns and algebra
Choose a number card 30-50. Count up by 2s, 5s or 10s.
Use a hundred chart to help you.

Try again but this time skip count backwards.
Record this in your homework book.
Mass
Find two objects at home (that you can hold in each hand) and predict which one you think will have the greater
mass. Write a sentence in your book.
Eg. I think __________________ will have a greater mass.
Hold the two objects, one in each hand. Test and see which one has the greater mass. Write a sentence to
describe it.
Eg. ______________ has a greater mass than the _________________.
Find another object at home that is lighter than the first object. Test it by holding the objects and write a
sentence to describe it.

Completed

Eg. _________________ is lighter than __________________.

Repeat the process using other objects.

Addition and Subtraction

Write down all your friends of 20 number facts. Can you write each fact two different ways?
Write the reciprocal (subtraction) for these facts.
Eg.
19 + 1 = 20
1 + 19 = 20
20 19 = 1
20 1 = 19
Challenge: Can you repeat this and extend it for friends of 30 facts?

Addition and Subtraction

Choose two number cards 10-30. Create an addition number question using these numbers and solve. Show working
out using a number line. Using the same numbers write the reciprocal as a subtraction equation and show this
working out on a number line. Eg. I chose the numbers 15 and 10.
Addition: 15 + 10 = 25
Subtraction reciprocal: 25 10 = 15
Choose another two numbers and repeat the process. Complete as many times as
you like.

Volume and Capacity

Find 3 different size containers at home. These can be cups, bowls, pots or food containers. Draw a
picture of each container in your homework book. Fill each container with water and see which
container holds the most.
Extension: If you have a measuring jug at home, once you have filled a container with water, pour
that water into the measuring just to find its volume. Write the volume of each container.
Write sentences to describe the volume of each container.
Eg. The ___________________ has the largest volume.
The ___________________ holds more water than the ________________.
The ___________________ holds the least amount of water.
The ____________________ could hold ____________ milliliters of water.

1. Write the days of the week in order.
2. Write the months of the year in order and draw a picture next to each month to show something that would
happen in each month or showing the season it would be. Eg. Think about when it is summer, autumn, winter
spring. When is it your birthday? Or a family members birthday?
Time
Draw your own clock. Pick a time of the day to represent on your clock. Write the digital time underneath your
clock and draw a picture of something you would be doing at that time. Write a sentence to describe your picture.
Eg.

11:00 am
At school at 11 oclock I eat recess.
Challenge: What is the hour after the time on your clock? Draw another clock showing this time, write the digital
time underneath it and draw a picture of something you would be doing at that time.
