The Maths Curriculum for Parents: Year 1

Product Information

describe, sketch and draw using conventional terms and notations: points, lines, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, right angles, regular polygons, and other polygons that are reflectively and rotationally symmetric

multiply numbers up to 4 digits by a one- or two-digit number using a formal written method, including long multiplication for two-digit numbers

Pupils practise addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for larger numbers, using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction, short and long multiplication, and short and long division (see Mathematics appendix 1 (PDF, 248KB)). Pupils continue to practise recalling and using multiplication tables and related division facts to aid fluency. use Pythagoras’ Theorem and trigonometric ratios in similar triangles to solve problems involving right-angled triangles Pupils extend their understanding of the language of addition and subtraction to include sum and difference. extend and formalise their knowledge of ratio and proportion, including trigonometric ratios, in working with measures and geometry, and in working with proportional relations algebraically and graphically

understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number [for example, Mathematics is an interconnected subject in which pupils need to be able to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas. The programmes of study are, by necessity, organised into apparently distinct domains, but pupils should make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. They should also apply their mathematical knowledge to science and other subjects.In the first year of key stage 1, there are seven fundamental areas of study included in the maths curriculum. These are:

And what a better way to teach these shapes than with everyday examples? Our properties of shape resources are specifically designed to aid learning on the topic. Geometry - Position and Direction

Find a Scheme of Work

Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens. Also, be able to read, write and count numbers up to 100 in numerals. As multiplication and division are a bit more complex than the other maths operations, children will slowly start building upon their knowledge of these calculations.
