Following the White Rose Maths scheme, year 1 will cover 5 main blocks of learning over the course of the spring term: place value within 20; addition and subtraction; place value within 50; length and height; and mass and volume. 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.
| Maths area of learning | Block | Small Learning Steps. |
| Number | Place value within 20 | Count within 20; Count within 20; understand 10; understand 11, 12 and 13; understand 14, 15 and 16; understand 17, 18 and 19; understand 20; 1 more and 1 less; the number line to 20; use a number line to 20; estimate on a number line to 20; compare numbers to 20; and order numbers to 20. |
| Number | Addition and subtraction (within 20) | Add by counting on within 20; add ones using number bonds; find and make number bonds to 20; doubles; near doubles; subtract ones using number bonds; subtraction – counting back; subtraction – finding the difference; related facts; and missing number problems. |
| Number | Place value within 50 | Count from 20 to 50; 20, 30, 40 and 50; count by making groups of tens; groups of tens and ones; partition into tens and ones; the number line to 50; estimate on a number line to 50; and 1 more, 1 less. |
| Measurement | Length and height | Compare lengths and heights; measure length using objects; and measure length in centimetres. |
| Measurement | Mass and volume | Heavier and lighter; measure mass; compare mass; full and empty; compare volume; measure capacity; and compare capacity. |
One of the most important things for your child to have mastered and maintain is their knowledge of number bonds to 10 and 20, also to write numbers in digits and words. For an overview of our weekly focus, please view our Term 3 and 4 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.
