3 ten-minute ideas for maths

Play the ten-frame game. Use an egg box with 10 spaces and some pasta. Put some in and ask: “How many more to make 10?”
Do real-life maths. Count change at the shop, weigh ingredients for baking, or read the clock together.
Sing one times table. Pick one table and sing or chant it once a day for a week.

All three ideas are on Mooki cards, with simple steps on the front and a child-friendly activity on the back.
