Max Maths, Year 1, Learn together, Age

Max Maths Year 1 introduces young learners to the concept of age and how it increases year by year through an engaging 'Let's Learn Together' activity. The children are presented with cards showing the ages of different individuals. For example, Padma's card shows the number 6, indicating that she is 6 years old, while Jade's card displays the number 5, meaning she is 5 years old. From this, children can deduce that Padma is older than Jade. This simple comparison helps children understand the concept of age and relative ages among peers.

In the 'Let's Try It' section, the activity becomes a bit more challenging as children are asked to consider the ages of three individuals: Samir, Han, and Toby. With the ages given as 7, 5, and 8 respectively, children are encouraged to identify who is the oldest. This exercise not only reinforces the concept of increasing age but also introduces basic comparison skills. By engaging with this activity, children learn to compare numbers and understand the sequence of ages in a practical and relatable context.
