Lesson One – Counting and Adding

This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to identify and model how to add different pairs of single digit numbers by counting on from the biggest number to find each matching sum.
The class can use concrete equipment to support their addition calculations when playing a game to identify the sums that are one more than different numbers to ten.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and model how to add different pairs of single digit numbers by counting on from the biggest number to find each matching sum
Activities in this teaching pack include worksheets to identify and record addition sums when adding two more to single digit numbers using concrete equipment to support calculations and play a game to practise adding and recording one more to different numbers on a dice.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to add pairs of single digit numbers by counting on from the biggest number.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to practise adding pairs of one digit numbers by using counting on from the biggest number working with concrete equipment and diagrams to support calculations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
