Days of the Week Measurement - Powerpoint

In a comprehensive set of maths teaching resources aimed at Year 1 pupils, the focus is on learning and understanding the days of the week. The lesson begins with an introduction to the concept that a week consists of seven days, setting the stage for deeper exploration. Students are then progressively taken through each day of the week, starting from the first and moving sequentially to the last. This structured approach helps to cement the order of the days in the children's minds.

Interactive elements are incorporated into the lesson, such as sorting activities where pupils can click and drag to arrange the days in the correct order. They are also encouraged to fill in missing days on worksheets, reinforcing their grasp of the sequence. The lesson includes engaging audiovisual resources, like a song about the days of the week, which adds a fun dimension to the learning process. To wrap up, the children are prompted to answer questions that test their understanding of the order of days, what 'today', 'yesterday', and 'tomorrow' signify, and the concept of the weekend. The resources provide a variety of exercises, including colouring pages, to ensure a thorough and enjoyable educational experience.
