This week we have begun our number sense approach to mathematics, and the children have really loved exploring the number 1.
We have:
counted in ones
found sets of one
looked at the 2D shapes; a circle and an oval with one curved side,
looked at the 3D shapes: a sphere with one curved face, and cone with one curved face, one circular flat face, one edge and one point
explored how many things we can do in 1 minute
found 1 o'clock on the classroom clock
talked about Monday as the first day of the week, and January as the first month of the year
completed simple repeating patterns, such as red, yellow, red yellow
explored money with one penny and one pound coins, and used one pence coins to buy our snack
looked at a one metre ruler, and found objects that are taller and shorter
compared the weight of objects and used the language heavy and light
measured how many cups we needed to fill a one litre jug
