Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will review their knowledge from the EYFS of counting in all its forms to and from 10. They will compare and order numbers to 10 practically and will consider the role of zero to represent nothing.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to find one more from a group using manipulatives and counting.
Key Notes
- Revisit the idea of one more than as the next number.
- Use manipulatives and stem sentences to deepen understanding the next number after a given number is one more.
- Answer questions such as 'What is the next number after 8 when counting?'
Vocabulary To Learn
- One more than: One more than is when there is a greater amount by one or another item in the set.
- Next number: When counting, the next number is the one that we say after a given number.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may start counting on the number given and not recognise that the next number is one more.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
Revisit the idea of one more than as the next number. Use manipulatives and stem sentences to deepen understanding the next number after a given number is one more.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'One more than'
One more than is when there is a greater amount by one or another item in the set. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Pupils may start counting on the number given and not recognise that the next number is one more. Correction: Model the counting on and highlight the next number alongside the manipulatives. Give opportunities for pupils to add in one more to a set.
