This poster and target sheets set is aimed at supporting assessment of 15 key objectives for the Year 1 maths curriculum, making it ideal for back to school preparations. The 15 objectives are presented in an engaging and child-friendly style, which encourages children to be aware of their own learning targets and to begin to use self-assessment strategies. The objectives cover number, fractions, measures, calculation, shape and money and can be used in the following ways in the classroom: 1. Two A4 sized PDF files, which have full-sized versions of the target sheets (8 targets on one sheet & 7 on the other). These can be used for a class poster. 2. A PDF file containing smaller versions of the 2 sheets, which can be stuck into children's books for self-assessment. Each target contains a tick box for the children to complete when it has been met. In addition, the original images are included as PNG files, which can be used in any way necessary, and there is also a certificate for children who achieve all of the targets. If you have any requests for changes to any of the target sheets, please contact me in the comments section below.
