At Abbotswell we use the Big Maths scheme. Each week the pupils are set CLIC targets which we explore together. These help with the children’s core numeracy skills. Each letter stands for one of the elements.

C– Counting

L– Learn Its

I– It’s Nothing New

C– Calculations

This week our targets are:

C- Saying Numbers– I can count to 20. 

Remember to:

• Say, ‘11, 12, 13, 14, 15’
• Say 6, 7, 8, 9 with ‘teen’ after each one

L– 1+2, 2+3

I– Doubling and Halving: I can double 1 digit numbers. ‘Double 4 is 8’

Remember to: learn that double…

• 1 is 2
• 2 is 4
• 3 is 6
• 4 is 8

C– I add the right number and can count how many altogether. 

Remember to:

• Count how many objects you have
• See how many need adding
• Count out how many you are going to add
• Add each one carefully 
• Count how many there are altogether
