Mathematics and Numeracy

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

Year 1 – Spring Term

Unit

Skills to be Taught

 
Place value

• Understand that 0 as a placeholder – Using counting in 10s as a support (Using

Base 10)
• 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

 Double 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 (in line
with the school calculation policy).
• 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
• Practical activities
 
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 – as a concrete representation)
• Find half of a quantity (as a pictorial representation)
 
     
     
     
     
     

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:
