R3.+Skittles

**Purpose:** The purpose of this activity is to help your child learn the addition and subtraction facts of 10. For example, 2 + 8 = 10 and 10 - 8 = 2. **Link to Number Framework:** Number Facts, Stages 0-3 **What you need:** · A set of 10 skittles. You can make these using empty plastic bottles with a little sand or water in them to help them balance. · Two balls **What to do:** · Set up skittles in a 4, 3, 2, 1 triangular array. You can draw circles on the ground (if outside) or place these on a piece of material or sheet of plastic with circles drawn on (if inside), to help children place these correctly. · The child rolls the ball. Talk about how many skittles have fallen, for example if three skittles are down: //How many skittles are standing? 7// //How many skittles have fallen? 3// //We can say 7 and 3 is 10, or 10 take away 3 is 7// · It is important to focus on both addition and subtraction facts to help your child understand the link between these. · Help your child to write the addition and subtraction facts on a piece of paper: //7 + 3 = 10// //10 - 3 + 7//  · Set up the skittles again and repeat. **What to expect your child to do:** · Know the answer to addition facts to 10 without having to calculate: 0 + 0 = 10  1 + 9 = 10   2 + 8 = 10   3 + 7 = 10   4 + 6 = 10   5 + 5 = 10 ||  10 + 0 = 10  9 + 1 = 10  8 + 2 = 10  7 + 3 = 10  6 + 4 = 10  || · Know the answer to subtraction facts of 10 without having to calculate: 10 - 1 = 9  10 - 2 = 8   10 - 3 = 7   10 - 4 = 6   10 - 5 = 5   10 - 0 = 10 ||  10 - 9 = 1  10 - 8 = 2  10 - 7 = 3  10 - 6 = 4  10 - 10 = 0 || **He Kupu Māori** skittle || pātuki || addition facts || meka tāpiritanga || subtraction facts || meka tangohanga || **He Whakawhitinga Kōrero:** · Whakatūria ngā pātuki. //(Stand the skittles.)// · E hia ngā pātuki? //(How many skilttles are there?)// · Pīrorihia te pōro. //(Roll the ball.)// · E hia ngā pātuki i hinga? E hia e tū tonu ana? //(How many skittles fell? How many are still standing?)// · Tekau ngā pātuki e tū ana i te tīmatanga. E waru i hinga. E rua e toe ana. He aha te tangohanga? //(10 skittles standing at the beginning. 8 fell. 2 are left. What is the subtraction?) 10 – 8 = 2// · E waru ngā pātuki i hinga. E rua e tū tonu ana. Tekau ngā pātuki katoa. He aha te tāpiritanga? //(8 skittles fell. 2 are left standing. 10 skittles altogether. What is the addition?) 8 + 2 = 10// · Tuhia te tāpiritanga me te tangohanga ki te pepa. //(Write down the addition and subtraction on the paper.)//
