Y1 Maths Mastery Planning Block 2 Plan 5 Finding a difference Comparing Numbers

3 days of Y1 Maths planning based on a Mastery Maths principle incorporating Varied Fluency, Reasoning and Problem Solving Skills plus a Practise session for children to apply their skills independently. An example Stem Sentence to use each lesson is also included.

Based on the White Rose small steps approach, the NCETM mastery approach and using examples from both these, NRICH and my own ideas.

Each day includes sheets to record the steps in the lesson as you go, although some sessions could also be done directly into books. They have been used in more than one class and children showed good progression in learning and excellent understanding and application of skills on the practise examples.

This example includes lessons on:
Finding the difference
Comparing numbers: a + b = c
Comparing numbers: a+b=c+d

I am planning on adding more examples if these are useful. Please note, these are plans based on my own class and should be adapted to suit the needs of your own children. Weekly plans can have anything from 3-5 lessons on it, depending upon what is going on in school.
