Ordering numbers

Maths is even more fun when you’re allowed to write on the table! The children enjoyed ordering the numbers using numicon and then writing the numeral and word representation of the number on the table.

Top tip: Don’t forget to include a zero when ordering numbers.

Numicon number lines

Now that we are learning one more than and one less than, we are using numicon to create number lines. We now know that if we line the numbers up from smallest on the left and largest on the right, the numbers are going up by one more when going forwards and going down by one less when going backwards

Maths challenge

On Thursday Year 1 were challenged with this question:

 

Max has 17 litres of paint in total.

He has 5 litres of blue paint.

How many litres were yellow?

 

Many of the children drew a part whole model on their whiteboard to help them complete the question. Well done to this young lady for being able to explain to the class, how she came to the answer.

Numbers 0-20

In maths this week we are working on numbers to 20. Today we matched number with the correct number of dots; counted how many items are in a suitcase; checked that we have enough spare PE kit; made numbers out of play dough and practised writing our numbers the correct way around.
