Activity
• Can you get me hachi objects?
• Can you prove that you have hachi object
by counting them starting at ichi?
• Pick a handful of objects and tell me how
many you have.
• I’m going to give you a group of objects,
how many have I given you?
• Pair up, take a group of objects each.
How many more do you have than your
partner?
Activity
• What made the task easy?
• What made the task difficult?
• Would it have been helpful if you had
known something else first?
• What would have made it easier?
• How does this relate to what
children in their early years (3-5
years old) experience?

Why?
Work on learning outcomes.
Small steps
Problem solving as integral
Useful resource in Key Stage One to support
mathematics
• Gaps in understanding (children may be able to do
things with little understanding)
• Upskill and support staff
• An opportunity to widen work of Maths Hub
How?
• Collaborating with two other schools
– Ireland Wood in Leeds and
Settrington.
• Settings structured differently to
each other.
• Involving nursery and reception
practitioners as well as Numbers
Count teacher.

Areas covered:
Counting
Calculating – addition and subtraction
Problem solving
Numerals
The ness of a number
•
•
Steps in learning have been written for these areas.
Examples of skill based activities using classroom resources and across
the different areas of provision.
Using and applying opportunities across all learning areas.
The final resource will be available for schools to download, use and adapt
as appropriate for their school.

Counting
• Process involved
• Sharing of steps
Addition
• End of year expectation for the Early Years:
– Children count reliably with numbers from one
to twenty, place them in order and say which
number is one more and one less than a given
number. Using quantities and objects they add
and subtract two single digit numbers and
count on or back to find the answer. They
solve problems, including doubling, halving and
sharing.
