Roll the dice twice. Add the two numbers. If the total is one of the numbers in your circles then you may cross it out. The first person to cross out all four circles wins.
Dicey coins For this game you need a dice and about twenty 10p coins.
Take turns to roll the dice and take that number of 10p coins. Guess how much money this is. Then count aloud in tens to check, e.g. saying ten, twenty, thirty, forty… If you do this correctly you keep one of the 10p pieces. First person to collect £1 wins. Don't forget to give the coins back!
Out and about On the way to school, see how many cuboids, spheres and cylinders you can spot. Which did you see most of?

Targets – Year 1
About the targets These targets show some of the things your child should be able to do by the end of Year 1.
By the end of the Spring Term most children should be able to….. 1. count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number a. 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, b. 33, 32, 31, 30, 29 2. count, read and write numbers to 100 3. count in multiples of twos and tens and identify one more and one less than a given number a. 2 4 6 8 / one more than 59 is 60 b. 10 20 30 40 / one less than 50 is 49 4. identify and represent numbers using objects and pictures 5. recognise and know the value of different coins and notes 6. solve one-step problems involving multiplication and division, addition and subtraction Tom has 25 marbles. His Dad gave him 8 more. How many marbles has he got altogether? 7. measure and begin to record the following: - lengths and heights, mass/weight, capacity and volume 8. read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs 9. add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20 including zero 9 + 8 = 17 20 - 8 = 12 10. sequence events in chronological order using language [for example, before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening]
Some targets are harder than they seem, e.g. children who can count up to 100 may still have trouble saying which number comes after 12. They may have to start at 1 and count from there. Here are some examples of activities children will be expected to do. You could help your child by working on these at home: - I can choose some objects around the house to show and explain how I know how many people will be on the bus if there are 7 people on the bus and 1 more gets on. Use this to explain one more than 67. - I can choose some objects around the house to show and explain how I know how many people will be on the bus if there are 6 people on the bus and 1 gets off. Use this to explain one less than 46. - I can read the numbers 17 and 70, say which is bigger and show and explain how I know. - I can show and explain how I know what happens if there are 20 biscuits on a plate and 1 is eaten, without counting the biscuits that are left. - I can show and explain how I know what happens if 5 biscuits are eaten, without counting the biscuits that are left. - I can show and explain how much I have spent if I spend 50p on a cake and 10p on a biscuit at the school fair, without counting in ones. - I can show and explain how much I have left if I have 80p and I spend 10p guessing the name of the bear at the school fair, without counting in ones. - I can show and explain why I can’t pay for a DVD which costs £7 using only £2 coins without needing change.
