We also have a Winter themed set of poetry available.

4 days of Y1 Maths planning based on a Mastery Maths principle incorporating Varied Fluency, Reasoning and Problem Solving Skills - including questions to ask and misconceptions that might occur plus a choice of Practise sessions - both practical and written - for children to apply their skills independently. An example Stem Sentence to use each lesson is also included. Each lesson also includes an animated PowerPoint that breaks down the maths visually. It also includes ideas for continuous provision. Based on the White Rose small steps approach, the NCETM mastery approach and using examples from both these, NRICH and my own ideas.

Weekly plans can have anything from 3-5 lessons on it, depending upon what is going on in school, although I try to average 4. A ‘spare’ day can be used for consolidation / additional problem solving / assessment etc.
