Welcome to Mrs Clayton's and Miss Wilson's LSC Class.

Numeracy

Number:

• Develop an understanding of one-to-one correspondence and come to appreciate that the size of a set is given by the last number in the count.

• Investigate different ways of making sets for a given number.

• Match and order numerals to sets.

• Explore the number that comes after, before, between a given number.

• Carry out simple mental calculations, for example, 1 more than/less than within 10; 2 more than/less than within 10.

Counting and Number Recognition:

• Count in the context of number rhymes, jingles and stories.

• Count forwards and backwards in ones from different starting points.

• Recognise numerals.

• State, without counting, quantities within 5.

• Explore numbers relevant to their everyday lives, for example, the number of children allowed to play in the sand, telephone numbers, house number.

• Extend, when appropriate, counting in ones and recognition of numbers beyond 10.

Patterns and Relationships:

• Investigate and talk about pattern in the environment, for example, tiles, windows, wall paper, art prints, clothes, brick walls.

• Copy a simple pattern, for example, green cube, blue cube, green cube…, shell, pebble, shell….

• Continue a simple pattern.

• Create patterns, for example, when making a necklace for teddy, when printing.

• Understand the concept of addition by combining sets of objects to find ‘how many’.

• Match objects in real contexts, for example, cup to saucer, knife to fork.

• Compare sets by matching objects/counting objects to understand the terms ‘more than’, ‘less than’, ‘the same’.

• Investigate the relationship between addition and subtraction in practical situations.
