Reception Maths Challenge




Parents/Carers of children in reception



Each week in our newsletter we will publish a weekly 'maths challenge'. These challenges will consist of short practical activities for your child to complete at home and will help your child to see maths as fun. The challenges relate to the different areas of learning within our curriculum: Numbers and Shape, space and measures (SSM). You can repeat the activity as many times as your child wants to and please feel free to change and adapt the ideas to suit your child's interest, what you have in your house and their current level of development. If your child would like to represent their thinking on paper let them do so in their own way. For example, they might not want to write numbers, but they might want to draw to communicate their mathematical thinking.


This week our challenge relates to our learning on height and will help your child to consolidate their learning.

Please feel free to email us any pictures or send in any written, pictorial work your child completes.

This week's challenge is:

Who is the tallest person in your house?

Who is the shortest person in your house?

How did you measure them?
