Today, we combined our Snack Time with Maths.

We talked about the sizes of the different groups of fruits.  We could see that the group of apples had the most and the group of oranges had the least.  We then chose the fruit we would like and accurately counted how many were in that group.  When we took our piece of fruit away we then counted to see how many were left. 

Some of us were able to say how many were in the groups by just looking (subitising) and could automatically recall one less than.
