Maths Autumn Term 1
Maths Autumn Term 1
This half-term term we will be focusing on repeating patterns and subitising, comparing and
composing numbers 1,2 and 3!
Subitising - means to recognise when you are able to look at a group of objects and realise how many there are without counting e.g. holding up one finger is the same as 1, seeing two buttons on the screen means there is 2, looking at a dice and recognising the number 3 from the dot patterns.
Comparing - identifying which numbers are bigger and smaller (looking at what makes them different e.g. what is different between two buttons and three buttons?)
Composition - learning the different ways that numbers are made up of smaller numbers e.g. 2 and 1 makes 3! 3 is made from 1 and 1 and 1.
We follow a Maths Mastery programme at St Georges, which allows all children to understand and become secure in basic concepts before we move into more complex ideas.
Maths mastery involves lots of repetition and games to make maths and learning more fun and exciting!
We use numberblocks a lot in our learning - Children are encouraged to watch this at home!
Find Numberblocks on bcciplayer.
Repeating patterns activities and ideas for home!
Natural objects and resources at home are great for encouraging children to see patterns around them and to create their own!
