In a lively and engaging starter activity for Year 1 students, the focus is on enhancing their understanding of place value within the number range up to 50. The task at hand is to write down numbers as they are presented visually or within simple mathematical problems. The session, designed to be interactive and fun, includes a 'Fluent in Four' revision segment where children are encouraged to quickly solve basic subtraction problems, such as "16 minus 8" and "17 minus double 7." This fast-paced revision helps to reinforce their arithmetic skills and understanding of number relationships.

Furthermore, the activity incorporates practical elements to aid learning, such as finding a domino with a specific number of dots, in this case, nine. This not only helps with number recognition but also with counting skills. Additionally, the children are presented with a scenario involving Malachi and Rosie, who have a collection of lollipops. The students are tasked with calculating the total number of lollipops the children have altogether, combining counting and addition skills. This real-world application of maths encourages students to apply their knowledge in a context they can relate to, making the learning experience more meaningful and memorable.
