Numeracy & Mathematics

The children will:

  • recognise and order numbers forwards and backwards within the range of 20
  • identify missing numbers, the number before/after
  • recall the number sequence backwards 20-0
  • recall the number sequence forwards 0-30
  • identify 1st, 2nd, 3rd in real life contexts
  • double numbers to a total of 10 mentally
  • use concrete materials and a number line to subtract within 10
  • use their own strategies to add or subtract mentally to 10.

The children will sort and recognise coins to £2 and select coins to pay the exact amount for items up to 10p.

They will explore and discuss a range of different devices that can be used to measure time and use the language analogue, digital, hour-hand and minute hand.  They will read analogue and digital time to o’clock.

When exploring pattern the children will create some of their own and say what comes next.  They will count patterns in multiples of 2, 5 and 10.

We will revisit 2D and 3D shape to identify 2D shapes within 3D shapes and sort according to various criteria.

The children will use knowledge of shape, colour, size and other properties to match and sort information into Carroll/tree diagrams or pictograms.

Literacy and Language 

Sounds/phonemes – j   v   y   z   q(u)   x   sh   ch   wh

The children have enjoyed using the class cameras to take photographs and will continue to do so.
