Place value within 10 - Count one more - Planning

The second week of Year 1 Autumn term maths planning introduces the concept of 'One More' within the context of place value up to 10. The lesson utilises a variety of resources such as dice, dominoes, number cards, and worksheets, alongside flashcards that display numbers 0-10 as words. Students are expected to engage with key vocabulary, including terms like 'number track', 'counting', 'greater', 'less', and 'more', with supporting vocabulary cards available on the accompanying website. The class begins with a starter activity where children are asked to order flashcards with number names from smallest to largest, identifying which number comes next. This leads into a recap of previous learning, reinforcing the ability to place numbers on a track and introducing the concept of 'one more' as the succeeding number. Through partner work, independent activities, and differentiated worksheets, students practice and discuss different representations of numbers and the concept of 'one more', ensuring they understand how to determine and express this in various contexts.

The lesson also addresses common misconceptions by exposing children to different representations of 'one more'. For example, they must recognise that the statement "one more than 5 is 6" is equivalent to "6 is one more than 5", and not assume the larger number always comes at the end of the statement. The plenary activity, 'Give me five', encourages self-reflection on what they have learned, the skills they have used such as counting forwards, and any difficulties they encountered. Students also reflect on what helped them during the lesson and make a 'pinkie promise' to remember certain aspects of the day's learning. The lesson plan outlines expectations for different levels of understanding, from 'Working Towards' to 'Greater Depth', with activities tailored to each level, including using a number track to find 'one more', representing numbers with pictures, digits, and words, and completing tables with missing parts to consolidate their understanding of the concept.
