Starting from year 1, pupils will get introduced to some fundamental maths concepts and will start developing key maths skills. At first, they will use non-standard units of measurement such as pencils, cubes, cups and similar objects before learning about metric and imperial units in the following school years.

All of our mats are easy to read and feature clear illustrations to aid your pupils with their learning!. For example, pupils need to: Coin Recognition Worksheets - perfect for teaching your class how to recognise and work with British coins. As children make their first steps into learning about mathematics, one of the key aims for year 1 is to help them become confident when identifying and representing numbers.Pupils might sometimes see maths concepts as too difficult to understand. That’s why it’s important to build a strong foundation, which will help them perform better in the following school years. In the first year of key stage 1, there are seven fundamental areas of study included in the maths curriculum. These are: Creating a story around a maths sum is a great way to get students engaged, especially if you use subjects that they are interested in, such as fictional characters or toys they like. Explore fractions using some of your child’s favourite toys, for example teddies or cars. Ask your child to halve their toys by splitting them into two equal groups. So, for ten cars, make two groups of five. Similarly, practise finding one quarter by splitting toys into four equal groups. Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens. Also, be able to read, write and count numbers up to 100 in numerals.

Phonics: if unsure of any sounds please use online resources like YouTube to hear the pronunciation of the sound. We follow letters and sounds :) SEND: Please ensure you complete tasks using any objects to enable skills to be embedded. Please ensure you work alongside your child, explaining the activities to ensure they can complete tasks with confidence. BTW, we know how time-consuming it is to create or even find the resources to support your teaching. That’s why we’ve linked each of these aims to resources, specifically designed with each of these objectives in mind. We hope this makes your job a little bit easier!Use objects and pictorial representations, such as a number line, to identify and represent numbers. Be able to use terms such as equal to, less than, more than, least, most.
