Roll a dice three times or choose any 3-digit number and write it in the grey box.
Write the number that is one more (the number after) in the white box on the right.
Write the number that is one less (the number before) in the white box on the left.
Write the number that is ten more in the white box under the grey box.
Write the number that is ten less in the white box above the grey box.
Volume and Capacity
Find up to 6 different sized containers in your home. Line them up from smallest to largest.
Ask your child: What numbers are hidden? How do you know? (possible response: I know one number is 23 because it’s 10 more than 13) Can you share your thinking? Is there another way you can prove it? Share your thinking with a family member. Volume and Capacity - Fill the Fish Tank! Watch Comparing Capacities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN_z-uUm1Ww . Find 2 containers of different sizes. E.g. a cup and a small cooking pot.
showing 6 in many ways. Can you make a similar triangle diagram for a 2-digit number? For example, 62 Your diagram could show ten frames, words, numbers, number lines, and collections. Mass - Who Sank the Boat? Before reading Think about the questions: ● What do you think
the book will be about?
● Do you think we will find out the answer to the question, “Who sank the boat?
Mass- Who Sank the Boat? Re-read Who Sank the Boat? By Pamela Allen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhE2gcy6Z3A ● Why do you think
the mouse sank the boat, even though the mouse was much lighter than the other animals?
It is time to conduct your own experiment! Make a paper boat. Here is a link to make a
Arrange these bundles in a tree like formation
Ask your child: How many tens do you see? How many single sticks can you see? Can you rename that number? Call it out and say “Chikka Chikka!” E.g. '4 tens, 4 ones, 44 Chikka Chikka Boom Boom!’ Mass - Tricky Bags Have a family member fill 2 shopping/plastic bags with random items in your home. They can be light or heavy items.
Estimate how many objects can each container hold. This is called volume. Volume is the amount of
space occupied by an object.
These objects can be blocks, marbles, cotton wool, pasta, candy, etc. E.g. This jug can hold 40 pasta pieces. This cup will hold less pasta pieces. It will hold 31 pasta pieces. Fill each container with your objects. ● Was your
prediction correct?
● Was it a fair test? Why/why not?
● What strategies
did you use?
Time to investigate! We are going to investigate how many smaller containers we need to fill our fish tank. The fish tank will be our larger container. Capacity is the amount of
liquid a container can hold.
Before measuring, predict how many of the smaller containers will it take to fill the fish tank. Tell a family member your predictions or record it in your book. Fill the smaller container with water then fill up the fish tank. Measure and record your findings in your book. How many cups did you need?
Read and listen to the story Who Sank the Boat? By Pamela Allen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhE2gcy6Z3A While listening to the story, make predictions about the different animals and whether or not they will sink the boat. Was it the sheep who sank the boat? ● Were your
predictions right?
● Was it a surprise? ● Why do you think
the lightest animal sank the boat?
● Do you think that
the story would have ended differently if the animals had got into the boat in a different order?
paper boat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6V09L6OZwc or cut off the end of a plastic bottle to be used as a boat. Prepare a shallow container or water, your boat and different items of various weights (dice, counters, marble, block etc.) Before measuring, predict the amount of objects you will need before the boat sinks. One at a time, place the objects into the boat. Keep count of how many you put in. ● Were your
predictions right?
● What did you notice?
Share your thinking with a family member or
We are going to investigate which bag is heavier without looking inside the bag. Hold the two bags in each hand. ● Which one feels
heavier?
● Which one feels lighter?
Have another member hold the 2 bags. Compare your findings. Refill the 2 bags with various items, changing up the weight of the bags.

Roll a dice three times or choose any 3-digit number and write it in the grey box.
Write the number that is one more (the number after) in the white box on the right.
Write the number that is one less (the number before) in the white box on the left.
Write the number that is ten more in the white box under the grey box.
Write the number that is ten less in the white box above the grey box.
Addition and Subtraction Look at the 100s chart provided in your learning pack. Think about these questions:
the bottom row. Then rename the number.
In this example, the top row would be double 5, so 10. The bottom row is 4, therefore, renaming 10 and 4 is14. Addition and Subtraction - Jump Strategy We are going to learn a new strategy to help us with our addition. It is called the jump strategy. You may have heard of this before. Get a dice. Roll the dice four times to get two 2-digit numbers. For example 23 and 12. We are going to use our jump strategy to
Use your washing line to create a number line. Collect 21 socks. Use post-it notes to display the numbers 0-20 on the socks. Peg each sock in order on the washing line. Think about the strategy we learnt yesterday - jump strategy. We are going to use the jump strategy to help us find how many socks are left. Have a family member choose a 2-digit number from 11-20. Roll a 6-sided dice to get a 1-digit number. For example, 15 and 4. Begin at the 15th sock. Take 4 socks away.
ways. Can you make a similar triangle diagram for a 2-digit number? Your diagram could show ten frames, words, numbers, number lines, and collections. Addition and Subtraction Talk with a family member about situations when you and your family have used money to buy something. ● What did you buy? ● Where did you buy it
from? ● How did you pay for
it? Have a family member provide 1 of each coin and note ready to use or use the Australian Money Template provided in your learning pack.
Have objects ready to represent ones, tens and hundreds. For example, you can use counters to represent ones, paddlepop sticks to represent tens. Get a dice. Roll it once. Indicate the number rolled in the ones column. E.g. I rolled an 8, so I will pace 8 counters in the ones column. Continue rolling until the objects in the ones column reaches ten. Once you reach ten in the ones column, then trade them 10 units for 1 ten. E.g. I had 8 counters already, I rolled another 5. There are 13 in total. I will trade 10 to get 1 tens and have 3 ones left.

Make a Nature collage using plants from the garden. Nature collages are sticky, creative and fun to make.
What you will need flower petals
leaves
sand
small pebbles
paperbark
seeds
grass
and any other natural materials of your choosing. For example, paint, markers or crayons
(optional) flower press or large book to dry your treasures in
paper
watered down white glue
Instructions 1. Collect the materials you want to use for your nature collage from your garden.
2. Draw the outline of a natural object- a tree, a flower, a seascape or even a fairy on a piece
of paper.
3. Brush a generous layer of glue onto the entire outline and begin placing your natural
treasures here and there to fill out your collage.
4. When everything is in place gently brush another layer of glue on top of the entire collage
and let it dry.
5. Display your creative-one-of-a-kind collage on the wall.
Note: If you want the collage to last longer than a few days press and dry the leave and petals beforehand in order to preserve them a bit better. Otherwise you can use fresh vegetation, but remember to let the kids know that it will start to fade. Perhaps that's part of the fun!

How to make a Nature Sun Catcher
Materials
flowers, leaves, herbs, or any small pieces of nature you like paper plate contact paper ribbon hole punch and scissors
Instructions 1. Go on a nature walk with a family member. Collect flowers, leaves,
grass etc. You may be able to find some flowers and leaves in your garden.
2. Cut a hole in the centre of the plate.
3. Cut out two circles from the contact paper. You may like to fold the paper in half and cut the circles at the same.
4. Stick one of the circles on the back of the plate and add the flowers and leaves.
5. Stick the other circle on top of the collage (flowers and leaves) and string the ribbon through the top.
6. Hang your creative one-of-a-kind Sun Catcher in your window.
