Targets For Pupils in Year 1: Shape Activity

The document provides three math activities for parents to do at home with their children in Year 1: 1. A dice game where children take turns rolling a dice, choosing a number, and calculating the difference between the chosen number and the dice number. 2. An activity where children identify shapes around the home and in the environment. 3. A booklet that lists mathematical targets for Year 1 students and provides additional fun math activities parents can do at home, including number tracking games, a cupboard weighing activity, and a takings game involving counting amounts.

Shape activity

At home, or when you are out, look at the surface of shapes. Ask your child what shape is this plate, this mirror, the bath mat, the tea towel, the window, the door, the red traffic light, and so on. Choose a shape for the week, e.g. a square. How many of these shapes can your child spot during the week, at home and when you are out?

Targets for pupils in Year 1

Dice game
You need a 16 dice, paper and pencil. Take turns. Choose a number between 1 and 10 and write it down. Throw the dice and say the dice number. Work out the difference between the chosen number and the dice number, e.g. if you wrote down a 2 and the dice shows 5, the difference is 3. You could also draw a number line to help your child to see the difference between the two numbers. 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

How old?
Start with your childs age. Ask your child: How old will you be when you are 1 year older? How old were you last year? How old will you be 10 years from now? and so on.

Targets Year 1 1
By the end of Year 1, most children should be able to
Count at least 20 everyday objects. Count forwards and backwards in ones, starting from a small number. Count forwards and backwards in tens (zero, ten, twenty, thirty) Read and write numbers to at least 20. Put the numbers 0 to 20 in order. Use the words first, second, third... Given a number from 10 to 20, say the number that is 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less. Use the words add, sum, total, take away, subtract, difference between in practical situations. Know by heart all pairs of numbers that make 10, e.g. 3 + 7, 8 + 2. Add and subtract two numbers under 10. Compare two objects or containers, and say which is longer or shorter, or heavier or lighter, or which holds more. Name and describe simple flat and solid shapes, e.g. It's got 3 corners. is working on the targets that are ticked.

About the targets


These targets show some of the things your child should be able to do by the end of Year 1. Some targets are harder than they seem, e.g. children who can count up to 20 may still have trouble saying which number comes after 12. They may have to start at 1 and count from there.

Fun activities to do at home


Secret numbers

Write the numbers 0 to 20 on a sheet of paper. Ask your child secretly to choose a number on the paper. Then ask him / her some questions to find out what the secret number is, e.g. Is it less than 10? Is it between 10 and 20? Does it have a 5 in it? He / she may answer only yes or no. Once you have guessed the number, it is your turn to choose a number. Your child asks the questions. For an easier game, use numbers up to 10. For a harder game, use only 5 questions, or use bigger numbers.

Track games
Make a number track to 20, or longer. Make it relevant to your childs interests sea world, space, monsters Then play games on it.

Targets for pupils in Year 1

Throw a dice. Move along that number of spaces. BUT before you move, you must work out what number you will land on. If you are wrong, you dont move! The winner is the first to land exactly on 20. Now play going backwards to 1. Throw a dice. Find a number on the track that goes with the number thrown to make either 10 or 20. Put a counter on it, e.g. you throw a 4 and put a counter on either 6 or 16. If someone elses counter is there already, you may replace it with yours! The winner is the first person to have a counter on 8 different numbers.

Cupboard maths
Choose two tins or packets from your food cupboard. Ask your child to hold one in each hand and tell you which is heavier, and which is lighter. (Check by reading the weight on each tin or packet.) If he / she is right, they keep the lighter one. Then choose another item from the cupboard, trying to find one that is lighter still. Carry on until your child has found the lightest item in the cupboard. It might be suitable to eat as a prize!

Takings
For this game you will need a dice and a collection of small things such as Lego bricks, sticky shapes or dried beans. You will also need pencil and paper. Take turns. Roll a dice. Take that number of beans. Write down the number. Keep rolling the dice and taking that number of beans. BUT, before you take them, you must write down your new total. For example, Sally has 7. She throws 4. She has to work out how many she will have now. She starts counting from seven: eight, nine, ten, eleven. She writes 11. You can only take your beans if you are right. The first person to collect 20 beans wins!
