Today we are learning to count backwards from a given number.
- Practise counting down from 10 a few times. ‘like a rocket taking off’ we would say in class.
- Use number flash cards 1-10. Shuffle the numbers, pulling 1 at random and ask your Yr 1 to find the number ‘before’ or ‘one less”. Keep a number line visible and refer to this if necessary. You can swap with your child for a few questions, get them to ask you the number before, therefore reinforcing the number facts.
3. Practical activity: Use a whiteboard or plain piece of paper to write out the grid shown in the picture below. Throw a dice (use an interactive dice online if you can’t find one). Every time your Yr 1 throws the dice, record the number, then ask them to write down the number before (1 less). Model this a few times if necessary. Rub out/repeat to reinforce. Use two dice and work within 12 if this suits the needs of your child.
4. Watch this video for finding one less.
5. Please see studyladder for ‘one less than’ activity.

Today we are practicing using vocabulary used in subtracting.
1) A practical way we show subtraction in class is to give Year 1’s little plastic people or teddies, or cubes, to count and take away. Feel free to use any familiar small toys you might have at home to go over this concept. (E.g. lego, even pens, pencils or crayons, 2 colours is preferable)

Tell your P1 that you have 2 red elephants and 4 yellow elephants. How many altogether? (2 add 4 makes 6) We have 6 elephants.
If I take away 2 red ones how many will be left? If your child can tell without counting, great, if not, prompt them to count the remaining elephants.
Try again, this time showing the 6 elephants and take away 4 yellow ones. Follow the same questioning as before. Prompt your child to count for the answer if needed. Show the number sentence written down as you go along (6 - 4 = 2).
Repeat a few times with different numbers to reinforce.
2) See seesaw to complete ‘Subtracting’ worksheet. Use the pictures of pigs to help, encourage your child to 'cross out', to show the number taken away, then count the new number.

Today we are continuing to practise skills and vocabulary involved in subtracting.
1) Another great way to show children visually how to subtract is an activity called 'Subtraction Squish':
Today we are continuing to practise skills and vocabulary involved in subtracting.
1) Another great way to show children visually how to subtract is an activity called 'Subtraction Squish':
1) Use a piece of masking tape to create a number line, a number line from 1-10 is best but you can easily adjust this to fit your individual child’s needs to work within 5 or 15.
Next, have your P1 roll quite a few balls from play dough. (This is great for improving fine motor skills!)
2) You can ask a variety of subtraction problems aloud. Once you ask the subtraction question, have your child line up the correct number of play dough balls and then squish them to find the right answer. (For instance, if the problem was 10-6, they would put a ball on each number up to 10, and then squish 6 of the balls. Looking at the remaining un-squished spheres, helps them see the answer is 4. Write the number calculation on a whiteboard or paper as you demonstrate. Draw attention to the – subtraction or ‘take away’ symbol.
3) Please see Seesaw for today's worksheet. Use your number line to help with number formation. Extension worksheet is for everyone who wants to give it a go.
4) Please see Study ladder activity, 'take away 1 from numbers under 10'.

Today we are learning to count forwards and backwards from a given number.
1) For this mental maths activity, you will need your number cards 1-10. Ask your Year 1 to select a number from the number cards. This time, ask them to find or call out the number more or less than. Refer to a number line if needed or extend number cards to within 15 or 20 where needed. Use language such as before, after, more, less, take away 1, add 1.
2. See seesaw for worksheets. Extension worksheet is for everyone who wants to give it a go.
3) Dance and sing along to this!

Today we are learning to use language such as ‘more’ or ‘less’ , before and after.
1. For this mental maths activity, you will need your number cards 1-10. Ask your Year 1 to select a number from the number cards. This time, ask them to find or call out the number more and less than. Refer to a number line if needed or extend number cards to within 15 or 20 where needed. Use language such as before, after, more, less, take away 1, add 1.
2. Play the dice game again, this time with one more than, one less than. Extend to using two dice, working within 12 if you think this is suitable for your P1.
