Year One: Autumn Term. Old Curriculum

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They cover comparing and ordering numbers up to 20 and adding by counting on and partitioning 5. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas, suggested resources and notes on progression and misconceptions. Objectives are:

Week 1

  • Recite numbers to at least 20
  • Count reliably up to 20 objects, recognising that the rearranged number of objects stays the same
  • Order numbers to 20 on a track
  • Say the number before and after any given number to 20
  • Make a sensible estimate up to 20
  • Make each ‘teens’ number by adding more to 10 (for example, using cubes or beads)
  • Partition each ‘teens’ number into 10 and the rest

Week 2

  • Understanding addition as combining two sets and record the related addition sentences
  • Relate counting on to addition
  • Partition 5 into pairs and record the related addition sentences

The Hamilton website also hosts a wealth of other free resources.
