Year-1

Counting in groups:

Lesson 1: Counting in 10’s: Click on this link to watch a video. Find week 2, lesson 2 video. 

The video shows you how to count groups of 10 objects.

Activity: You might do the activity sheet from the website (you can tell an adult your answers).

OR:   Use some pots to make groups of 10. I used 10 pieces of pasta in each pot. Look at my pictures. Count in 10’s to see how many piece of pasta I have.  Can you make some different numbers in groups of 10? You could also count 10p coins. Each coin is worth 10 pence so you count them in 10’s.

Lesson 2: Making equal groups: 

Today we are putting objects into equal groups. Watch this video from week 2 lesson 3.

Can you get some objects and split them into equal groups. You could take some sweets, some coins, your toys, etc.

You can draw pictures of your groups and write some sentences like this:           There are 4 equal groups of 3  OR there are 5 equal groups of 2.

What different sets of equal groups can you make? Always check your groups are equal!!

Lesson 3: Adding equal groups together to find the total. 

This video from week 2 lesson 4 shows how to add equal groups together.

Here I have 3 equal groups of 10.    I can write this as 10 + 10 + 10.

If I count all my pieces of pasta, or if I count in 10s then I have 30 pieces of pasta altogether. (10, 20, 30)

Can you make 3 equal groups of 4? How many have you got altogether? ( you might need to count all the pasta out).

Can you make  5 groups of 2? How many have you got altogether? (Can you count in 2s?)

Can you make 4 groups of 5? How many have you got altogether? (Can you count in 5’s?)

Volume and Capacity:  We have measured length and we have measured weight. Now we are going to be thinking about capacity and volume. These tell us how much liquid can fit inside a container.

Lesson 1: Are  containers full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty?

Click on this picture and watch the video for week 1 lesson 4. 

Task: Look through the worksheet on line by the video, or look through your cupboards. What containers can you find that are: full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty or empty?

Lesson 2: Measuring the capacity of some containers. Watch the video first and then see if you can measure the capacity of some containers in your house.

You will need:

*containers (cups, bowls, pots, saucepans, etc.)

*something to measure with (small pots, spoons, etc).

*water

Remember to find a safe place to work where it will not matter if you spill the water – maybe the sink is a good idea!!!

Lesson 3 : Looking at standard measures….milli litres (ml) and litres (l). 

Watch the video and then see what measures with ml or l you can find on the containers in your house. Which ones have the biggest capacity? Which ones have the smallest capacity?

Maybe you can do some cooking with an adult in your family and measure out the ingredients using ml or litres or spoons?

Please leave a comment to let us know which activities you tried at home. What did you cook? What was the container in your house with the biggest capacity? We would love to hear how you got along.

3+7 = 10             2+ 8 = 10.    How quickly can you find pairs of numbers that make 10?

Write out all the pairs you can think of. Play number bond ping pong:
