Following the White Rose Maths scheme, Year 1 will cover three main blocks of learning over the course of the autumn term: place value; addition and subtraction; and shape. As part of the White Rose Maths scheme, each block is broken down into a series of small learning steps. Combined, these small learning steps then cover all the curriculum content your child needs to know in small related chunks.

One of the most important things for your child to have mastered and maintain is their knowledge of number within 10 and 20, also to write numbers in digits and words. For an overview of our weekly focus, please view our Term 1 and 2 Homework Grid. To complement their work in lessons reinforcing their fluency, recall and commutativity of these facts, your child will be set a weekly activity to complete as part of their homework on Sumdog, For year 1 this starts in Term 2.
