Reception Games and Ideas

In reception, most of our work is done practically. The children record their own work using pictures and numbers to help them to explain what they have learned.

Here are some ideas to do at home.

A puzzle to try!

Katie had a pack of twenty cards numbered from 1 to 20.

20 cards numbered from 1 to 20.

She arranged the cards into six unequal piles.

The numbers on the cards in each pile added to the same total.

What was the total and how could this be done? Are you curious enough to find out?
