Year 1 Team
Maths
Today in maths we are thinking about division. In Year 1, this is mainly looking grouping and sharing and we avoid looking at the division symbol as this is a more abstract concept. We focus on teaching division through concrete objects and picture representations. We also look at halving and how this links to doubling. Use our division guide for examples of these. Find it here: Year 1 Division Guide
Summer Term, Week 1, Lesson 2 – Make equal groups (grouping)
Today we are starting something brand new in maths! We are going to be having a go at making equal groups. Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentence?
‘There are ___ objects altogether.’
‘There are ___ equal groups of ___.’
You could have a go at making equal groups practically with different objects in your house. You could put your teddies into equal groups. You could put your toy cars into equal groups. You could put your loom bands into equal groups.
Question 4 of your job asks you to group the counters in different ways. For this question you could draw the counters in different groups or you could use objects from around your house to help you.
