In this educational resource aimed at Year 1 students, during the Summer Term's tenth week on the second day, children are introduced to basic arithmetic and comparison concepts through engaging activities. The "Fluent in Four" revision section presents simple subtraction problems for the students to solve, such as "13 – 11 =" and "Sixteen – half of ten =". The answers to these are provided as "2" and "11" respectively, offering a quick and straightforward way for the young learners to practice their subtraction skills.

The worksheet then transitions into a visual exercise where children are asked to compare quantities and lengths. They are presented with groups of bees and ladybirds and tasked with identifying the total number of insects. Additionally, they must use comparative vocabulary such as 'length', 'height', 'taller', 'longer', 'same', 'shorter', and 'tall' to describe the relationship between the quantities. For instance, the exercise guides the students to understand that one group might be 'shorter' or 'longer' than the other, or they might have the 'same' number. The resource is designed to be interactive and encourages the children to engage with fundamental mathematical concepts in a way that is accessible and enjoyable.
