Maths
Maths homework this year will be focussed on our basic skills and NumBots. By the end of year 1 children need to be able to:
In Summer 1, we will continue to concentrate on Number Bonds to 20 (rapid recall) and counting in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards (from any given number). We will also look at halves and quarters.
We have found these skills are best covered little but often. If you could find 5 minutes 3x a week to practise the above it would be greatly appreciated. If your child needs a number line, number square or manipulatives to help with this to begin with then that is absolutely fine. This is best done verbally as the aim is for rapid recall.
NUMBOTS - NumBots will continue this year and I will set challenges as well where appropriate. Please can you carry on completing your story record this week. Certificates will be handed out on Friday 3rd May in assembly for anyone who has completed a level. In order to get a certificate in the assembly on the Friday you will need to have completed your story record by the Wednesday. Any questions about maths, please ask a member of the Year 1 team. COMPLETION DATE: 01.05.24
