Mathematics and Numeracy

The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the spring term. These are:

Place Value 
  • Understand that 0 is a place holder – Using counting in 10s as a support 

  • given a number (within 50), identify one more and one less 

  • identify and represent numbers using concrete and pictorial representations, 

  • Compare, estimate and order within 50 

  • use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least, odd and even 

  • Locate 2 digit numbers on a hundred square 

  • Finding 10 more and 10 less to 50 

Addition and Subtraction
  • Doubles to 10. 

  • Numbers bonds to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

  • Fact families and number bonds to 10. 

  • Use knowledge of pairs of 10 to make pairs of 20. 

  • add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 50, including zero 

  • read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (-) and equals (=) signs 

  • Use number facts to solve problems 

  • solve one-step problems that involve addition using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7=? - 9 

Length and Height 

 

  • Choose and use appropriate non-standard and standard units of measure 

  • Estimate and predict prior to measuring 

  • Compare and describe length of familiar objects 

  • practical application of measuring skills 

Mass and Volume
  • Compare weights and capacities using direct comparison 

  • Measure weight and capacity using non standard and standard units 

  • Make and use a measuring vessel for capacity 

  • Estimate and predict prior to measuring 

Fractions
  • Recognise half of an object or shape 

  • Find half of an object or shape 

  • Recognise half of a quantity (Half of 10 is 5 – this is the concrete) 

  • Find half of a quantity (This is the pictorial) 

Pupils are challenged every week to improve their fluency in integral number skills such as multiplication and addition facts. Here is an example of the Year 1 Big Maths Challenge. Pupils are encouraged to use the habit 'Get it Right!' to improve their scores and time. Here is an example below:
