Saturday: Number Hunt
Bennie the Bear and Lucy the Ladybug set off on a hunt.
"Today we look for pairs and arrays," says Bennie.
"Arrays hide in windows, egg cartons and tile floors," says Lucy.
"And pairs hide in shoes, socks and even mittens!"

For a grown-up
This week your child learned odd, even and arrays.
Ask them to make pairs to test odd or even.
For an array, ask, "How many rows? How many in each row?"
Adding the rows is the start of times tables later.
