Build Number Sense at Home with Quick Daily Practice

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: Number sense, including comparing quantities, counting on, and recognizing how numbers relate to one another.

1

Which is more: 6 blocks or 9 blocks? Tell how you know without counting every block one by one.

2

Start at 4 and count on three more. What number do you land on? Show it with your fingers or a drawing.

3

Fill in the missing number: 3, 4, __, 6, 7. Explain what pattern you noticed.

4

Mia has 5 stickers. Sam has 2 more stickers than Mia. How many stickers does Sam have? Draw a picture to show your answer.

5

Is 8 closer to 5 or to 10? Use a number line from 1 to 10 to explain your choice.

6

You have 7 counters. Take away 3. How many are left? Write a number sentence that matches your work.

Grown-up guide
  1. Read each prompt aloud, give your child small objects to count if needed, and ask them to explain their thinking rather than only giving the answer.
