Maths Resource Description
In the Max Maths Year 1 Workbook, young learners are introduced to the concept of addition through engaging and relatable scenarios known as 'addition stories'. Practice 4 focuses on 'Making and solving addition stories', where students are asked to solve simple addition problems based on everyday situations. For instance, one story describes Samir having 4 bunnies and Jade with 3 teddy bears, prompting the question of how many soft toys there are in total. Another story involves counting balloons of different colours, with 5 being red and 1 being white, and calculating the total number of balloons.
The workbook continues with more addition stories that involve combining groups of objects, such as guinea pigs and cats, or different shapes like circles and triangles, and finding the total number. Students are then encouraged to create their own addition stories using provided figures, such as the number of boys and girls, or fruits like bananas and pineapples. These exercises help children practise their addition skills in a fun and imaginative way. The workbook also includes a section where students can look at pictures and complete addition stories based on what they see, further reinforcing their understanding of addition in a visual and interactive manner.
