The key focus of mathematics in Year 1 is to ensure your child develops confidence with whole numbers. They will learn to count forwards and backwards to at least 100, order numbers and begin to learn key number facts by heart, for example 7 + 3 =10 or 8 + 2 =10.
They will use practical resources and measuring equipment to both engage, support their developing understanding and problem solve.
