Mathematics in Year 1 Children begin their compulsory schooling in Year 1 build on the learning that takes place in the Reception year.

Number and Place Value Place value is central to mathematics Number and Place Value Place value is central to mathematics. Recognising that the digit ‘5’ in the number 54 has a different value from the number 5 or the ‘5’ in 504 is an important step in mathematical understanding. • Count, both forwards and backwards, from any number, including past 100 • Count, read and write numbers up to 100 in numerals Read and write numbers from 1-20 in numerals and words • Count in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s • Find ‘one more’ or ‘one less’ than a number • Use mathematical language such as ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘most’, ‘least’ and ‘equal’

Calculations Use the +, – and = symbols to write and understand simple number calculations Add and subtract one and two-digit numbers, up to 20 Solve missing number problems, such as 10 – ? = 6 Begin to use simple multiplication by organising and counting objects

Fractions Understand 1/4 and 1/2 to explain parts of an object or number of objects

• Recognise the different coins and notes of British currency Measurements • Use practical apparatus to explore different lengths, weights and volumes • Use language such as ‘heavier’, ‘shorter’ and ‘empty’ to compare things they have measured • Recognise the different coins and notes of British currency • Use language of time, such as ‘yesterday’, ‘before’, days of the week and months of the year • Tell the time to the hour and half-hour, including drawing clock faces

• Describe movements, including quarter turns Shape • Recognise and name some common 2-d shapes, such as squares, rectangles and triangles • Recognise and name some common 3-d shapes, such as cubes, cuboids and spheres • Describe movements, including quarter turns Parent Tip There are plenty of opportunities for maths practice at home, from counting objects to simple games, such as dominoes and Snakes & Ladders. You can also begin to explore using money and clocks both in play at home and when out and about.

High Achievers If your child is achieving well, rather than moving on to the following year group’s work we will encourage more in-depth and investigative work to allow a greater mastery and understanding of concepts and ideas.

Reading – What we do Reading books will be changed every other day. We are happy to change books more often if required. Please just ask. Reading with adults weekly. Accelerated Reader – children will quiz when they have read a book and then their book will be changed.

Reading – What you can do Read to your child Make up stories with them Listen to your child read – we would like the children to read every evening for 5 minutes if possible (write in their reading record) Ask them questions about what they have listened to or read Phonics Wallet

Handwriting Pencil grip is very important. Letter formation – please see our website for letter formation in their families. We would like the children to practise their handwriting for 5 minutes every evening – this can be done in a variety of ways.

Writing Talk for Writing – story mapping with actions. Narratives Non-fiction writing Poetry

Spelling I can spell words containing each of the 40+ phonemes already taught I can spell 75% common exception words I can spell the days of the week I can name the letters of the alphabet in order I can use letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings of the same sound. I can use the spelling rule for adding –s for verbs in the third person singular. I can use the spelling rule for adding –es for verbs in the third person singular. I can use the prefix un- I can use –ing where no change is needed to the spelling of the root word. I can use -ed, where no change is needed to the spelling of the root word. I can use –er where no change is needed to the spelling of the root word. I can use –est where no change is needed to the spelling of the root word.

Handwriting I can sit correctly at a table, holding a pencil comfortably and correctly. I can begin to form lower-case letters in the correct direction, starting and finishing in the right place. I can form capital letters. I can form digits 0-9. I understand which letters belong to which handwriting ‘families’ and practise these.

Composition I can say out loud what I am going to write about I can compose a sentence orally before writing it I can sequence sentences to form short narratives I can use a simple structure in my writing, e.g. beginning, middle, and end I can link my ideas and events to create a flow to my writing I can re-read what I have written to check that it makes sense I can discuss what I have written with my teacher or other pupils I can read aloud my writing clearly enough to be heard by my peers and the teacher.

Vocabulary, Grammar & Punctuation I can leave spaces between words I can make appropriate word choices from word banks, class lists and sentence openers I can choose words for effect – to add interest or detail for the reader I can join two sentences using ‘and’ I am beginning to punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop I am beginning to punctuate sentences using a question mark I am beginning to punctuate sentences using an exclamation mark I can use a capital letter for names of people I can use a capital letter for names of places I can use a capital letter for names of the days of the week I can use a capital letter for names of the personal pronoun ‘I’
