February – Numeracy Focus – Introducing Subtraction

In Primary 1 our Numeracy focus in January was on addition, counting in 2s,5s and 10s and also on odd/even numbers.

Our addition took the form of adding items, using our adding snake, number line work then written calculations. We also  used these skills in our play throughout  the classroom.

This month our focus is now moving on to subtraction. We start with songs about taking away-

The children will then start adding up actual items . Adding concrete materials. We will then start to subtract using the large and small number lines before moving to written calculations.
