Objectives: KS1 Maths, Year 2 and adapted for Year 1. Add numbers using concrete objects and pictorial representations, e.g. number squares, to add 1- and 2-digit numbers. Add/subtract mentally two 2-digit numbers by counting on in 10s and 1s. Recognise and use symbols for pence (p) and use coins to solve simple problems involving addition and subtraction. Targets: I can add and subtract 10’s and 1p coins. I can find totals using coins up to 100. Year 1 Adding 1 more/1 less Finding totals up to 20. Notes for teachers Children can complete the challenge individually or in pairs. Timing the activity helps keep the children focused, keep the totals a secret until the ‘big reveal’ to add competition. Ideally it would be good if the children use real 10p and 1p coins. Included: Prerequisite activity, adding tens only grid. Blank grid maze with coloured paths to laminate and you can add your own numbers depending on your Year group. Purse print out.

Included in the pirate show download this is a game board for KS1 to help children learn coordinates in a fun way. Similar rules to the style of ‘battle ships’ children have to hide coins (counters) by selecting squares by identifying the corresponding coordinates and locate their partners hidden treasure by calling out coordinates. This game can be laminated and enjoyed over and over as an independent activity. An original illustration in full colour. Comes with teacher notes as a word document. https://youtu.be/A3rn4daxlNM https://youtu.be/A3rn4daxlNM
