Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Counting to 20

The Max Maths workbook for Year 1 provides a series of engaging exercises to help young learners practice counting to 20. In the second practice session, the workbook begins with an activity where children are asked to count the objects presented in various groups. Each group is labeled from (a) to (d), and students must write down the number of objects they count for each group. This activity helps to strengthen their counting skills and their ability to associate numbers with quantities.

Subsequent activities in the workbook build upon these foundational counting skills. For instance, children are prompted to count specific items, write down the corresponding number, and spell out the number word, reinforcing both their numerical literacy and spelling. Another exercise involves identifying groups of ten and filling in missing numbers to complete sequences, which aids in their understanding of base-ten units. The workbook also includes tasks where students fill in the blanks to complete addition sentences, such as '10 + ___ = 11' and '___ + 10 = 12', providing a gentle introduction to basic addition. Finally, learners are challenged to match number sentences with their correct answers, such as '10 + 3 = 13' and '10 + 8 = seventeen', helping them to connect the process of addition with the resulting sums.
