Day 1: Maths – 1 more

Oh no! The song seems to have forgotten the number 0! We talk lots about the number 0 being nothing but still being a number. Try to add the number 0 when singing the song.
2. Solve the number problems.
Parents: if needed, your child could use objects at home to help when counting.
• There are 5 rabbits hopping in the garden. 1 more hops into the garden. How many rabbits are there now?
• I have 6 sweets. My friend gives me 1 more. How many do I have now?
• There a 12 children on the bouncy castle. 1 more child jumped on. How many children are on the bouncy castle now?
