What is two?
In order to give children a deeper understanding of number we are investigating small numbers in our maths learning. This week, we’ll focus on the number 2 and what ‘two’ means.
Here are some ideas to help your child understand the ‘twoness of two’:
- Explore body parts which come in pairs, eyes, legs, nostrils etc
- Look at 2 x 1p, look at 2p, a £2 coin
- Cut fruit in half: one apple, 2 pieces of apple.
- Look at pairs of shoes, socks and boots
