The Family Maths Toolkit website http://www.familymathstoolkit.org.uk We all use maths every day, often without realising it. We believe that every child can develop the numeracy skills they will need, both at school and throughout their lives. Helping your child feel confident about maths now gives them a head start.
Building strong foundations in Year One Place Value Counting Number Bonds Developing a sense of number
Place Value Knowing the value of each digit in a number Understanding of place value underpins all other number and calculation work. Developed through games and songs. 2 digit song Maths 1 Number and place value Place value Videos Song: Two digits

Rapid Recall – Step 1 Say the numbers 1 – 10 accurately 1.1 Say the numbers 1 – 10 accurately 1.2 Say 1 more than any number between 0 – 10 1.3 Say 1 less than any number between 1 – 10 1.4 Count on from any number (0 – 9) up to 10 1.5 Say the number names in order to 20

Number Bonds (Number facts) A pair of numbers that add up to make another number, e.g. 3 + 2 = 5, 1 + 4 = 5 By the end of Year One, children need to know all of these number bonds off by heart: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 2 = 1 + 1 5 = 4 + 1 3 + 2 8 = 7 + 1 6 + 2 5 + 3 4 + 4 3 = 2+ 1 6 = 5 + 1 4 + 2 3 + 3 9 = 8 + 1 7 + 2 6 + 3 5 + 4 4 = 3 + 1 2 + 2 7 = 6 + 1 5 + 2 4 + 3 10 = 9 + 1 8 + 2 7 + 3 6 + 4 5 + 5 Children should realise that if they know ‘4 + 2 = 6’ then they also know ‘2 + 4 = 6’ because addition calculations can be done in any order

Addition and Subtraction facts If I know that 3 + 2 = 5, then I know that 5 – 3 = 2 and 5 – 2 = 3. If I know that 2 + 8 = 10, then I know that 10 – 8 = 2 and 10 – 2 = 8. > It helps children to see that subtraction is a mirror image of addition. They begin to see the patterns in numbers and to learn mathematical principles rather than having to memorise each individual sum.
Doubles and Halves Doubles for all numbers up to 10 Halves of all even numbers up to 20 Half of 2 = 1 Half of 4 = 2 Half of 6 = 3 Half of 8 = 4 Half of 10 = 5 Half of 12 = 6 Half of 14 = 7 Half of 16 = 8 Half of 18 = 9 Half of 20 = 10
Get confident at Numeracy! Be positive Don’t say things like ‘I can’t do maths/numeracy’. Praise effort This shows that by working hard they can always improve. Talk maths! Talk about and do everyday maths together. Little and often is best. However you feel about maths, you can still make a huge difference to your child’s confidence and learning
