One Less Egg

This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to identify, calculate and record the numbers of Easter egg shapes that are one less than different numbers to twenty.
The class can design and make baskets to illustrate their subtraction sums when finding one less than different numbers that can be represented by Easter egg models.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify, calculate and record the numbers of Easter egg shapes that are one less than different numbers to twenty
Activities in this teaching pack include sets of cards to select and match numbers of Easter egg shapes that are one less than different numbers to twenty that have been recorded in words and digits and a template to show a number of eggs for one of the subtraction sums using both words and digits to model the calculation.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record numbers of Easter eggs that are one less than different numbers to twenty.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to identify and record matching numbers of Easter eggs that make sums to five, ten and twenty when using different number skills. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
