With detailed lesson plans, engaging slides, differentiated worksheets and other resources, these 'Let's read, write and use numbers' lessons provide all you need to teach this useful KS1 scheme of work.

#Lesson1WhatsthisNumber

The first lesson in this series encourages your class to identify and say a number and then represent it using either words, numerals or pictures. This lesson reinforces children’s recognition of numbers zero to twenty in a variety of forms, including reading and using number sentences. The children will have opportunities to match numbers as well as write numbers in their different forms.

#Lesson2MatchingNumbers

The second lesson in this series focuses on the children identifying and representing numbers in written, numerical and pictorial forms. Your class will practise matching numbers represented in a variety of ways and then go on to complete activities independently in a hands-on, practical way.

#Lesson3EqualNumbers

The third lesson in this series encourages your class to explain what 'equal' means. The children will be encouraged to decide if representations are equal to each other or if one has more or less than the other. These activities will promote the use of mathematical language, reinforcing terms such as; equal, more than, less than, fewer, most and least. This lesson contains a lesson plan, slides, activity ideas,

#Lesson4FindingOneMoreorOneLess

In the fourth lesson of this series, your class shall apply their knowledge of more or less using mathematical language, particularly focusing on one more and one less. They will be encouraged to use different methods to solve problems including using objects, number lines and counting on and back.

#Lesson5MoreLessortheSame

During the fifth and final lesson in this series your class will continue to apply their knowledge of numbers and place value to solve a range of problems. The children shall also enjoy playing the exciting More/Less/Same Game, encouraging the children to recognise and record numbers that are more, less or the same as each other.
