# Reception Class -Maths - Parts That Make a Whole

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/news/Screenshot_2023-11-13_12.47.00.png)   13 November 2023

Tooday the children have been learning how to;

Identify the 'whole' when shown 1 part of a familiar object

identify that the parts are still visible when they are assembled to make the whole

hear the language of 'whole' and 'parts'.

I’ve got a basket full of different parts here. Do you think you can help me sort out a problem? In my basket I have collected some things that I found left out, and they need sorting. Do you think you can help me decide which whole thing each part belongs to?

We can say that parts can join together to make a whole.
