Unit D – One Less
This numeracy scheme of work for the Foundation Stage gets the children to identify and record counted sets of objects that are one less than different numbers to ten on the theme of farms and farming. The class can use concrete objects to count and find the sums that are one less to record using matching numbered diagrams.
Identify and record counted sets of objects that are one less than different numbers to ten on the theme of farms and farming
Lesson One : Farm Eggs
Identify and record the matching sums to ten when counting one less for different numbers of things that can be found and used on a farm
Lesson Two : Milk
Identify and record quantities of different objects that can be used to care for the animals on a farm and find the sums that are one less by counting back using a number line
Lesson Three : Counting Cows
Practise counting and recording the matching sums to ten that one less than different numbers of animals that can found living on a farm
Lesson Four : Animal Counting
Explain and model how to use a selection of number sentences to identify the sums that are one less than different numbers to ten to show information about animals on a farm
Lesson Five : Farm Jobs
Identify and record how to use a selection of jobs that can be performed on a farm to identify the number sums that are one less than different numbers to ten
