In a Year 1 maths lesson focused on place value within 20, students are tasked with comparing numbers using a variety of engaging activities. The lesson begins with a 'Fluent in Four - Revision' exercise, where children are encouraged to practice their subtraction skills by working out problems such as "9 ones – 8 ones" and further challenging their understanding with "seven ones – half of eight." These activities are designed to reinforce their comprehension of single-digit numbers and the concept of subtraction within 20.

The lesson continues with practical exercises that combine maths with everyday scenarios, such as determining which row has the most blocks and by how many, or deciding where a bear could hide, using positional language like "under the bed" or "behind the radiator." Additionally, students are asked to identify which cards do not represent the number '2', encouraging them to recognise different representations of numbers. These activities not only enhance their numerical comparison skills but also integrate spatial understanding and number recognition, making the learning experience both comprehensive and enjoyable.
