Counting One More and One Less - PowerPoint

Designed for Year 1 pupils, this set of Maths Teaching Resources focuses on the concept of counting one more and one less. The materials aim to enhance number and place value knowledge through a variety of engaging activities. Students are encouraged to draw pictures, use numerals, and write words to represent one more than a given number. For example, they will learn that one more than nine is ten, and one more than three is four. This visual and practical approach helps to solidify their understanding of basic addition and subtraction by one.

The resources also include worksheets that require pupils to count objects and complete sentences, reinforcing the concepts taught. For instance, they will determine that one more than seven is eight and one less than ten is nine. These exercises are designed to be interactive, with opportunities to click on signs in the presentation to reveal numbers and complete tables accordingly. The resources not only focus on numeracy skills but also on language development, as children learn to express numerical relationships in full sentences. Additionally, real-life scenarios involving characters and their ages or possessions offer context to the mathematical concepts, making the learning experience more relatable and enjoyable for young learners.
