Maths support—Each week we will cover success criteria for all year
groups. This was used in the Maths Meeting for Parents last year.

Year 1
Core learning
Count reliably at least 20 objects, recognising that when rearranged the number of objects stays the
same; estimate a number of objects that can be checked by counting (Counting and Understanding
Number)
Learning objective
We are learning to count objects reliably
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Move each object in turn or touch each object whilst saying the next number (counting)
• Only count each object once
• Record the last number you say as that is the number of objects in the set
Core learning
Read and write numerals from 0 to 20, then beyond; use knowledge of place value to position these
numbers on a number track and number line (Counting and Understanding Number)
Learning objective
We are learning to order numbers
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Look at the tens column of the number and decide if the number is less than 10, a ‘tens’ number a
‘twenties’ number…
• Find where the numbers less than 10, ‘tens’ numbers and ‘twenties’ numbers go on the number line/
track/square
• Look at the units column of the number and make sure that the units column of the number before is
less and the units column of the number after is more
Core learning
Relate addition to counting on; recognise that addition can be done in any order; use practical and infor-
mal written methods to support the addition of a one-digit number or a multiple of 10 to a one-digit or two-
digit number (Calculating)
Learning objective
We are learning to add two numbers using an empty number line
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Write the biggest number at the beginning of the number line and add on the smallest
• Add on the tens first then the units by counting on in jumps
• Draw a loop to show each jump and write the size of the jump above it
• Write the number you are on after each jump under the line
• Only add on the amount in the sum (this will be the total above the loops)
Core learning
Understand subtraction as 'take away' and find a 'difference' by counting up; use practical and informal
written methods to support the subtraction of a one-digit number from a one digit or two-digit number and
a multiple of 10 from a two-digit number (Calculating)
Learning objective
We are learning to find a ‘difference’ by counting up
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Write the smallest number at the beginning of the number line and the biggest number at the end
• Count on in jumps until you get to the end number
• Draw a loop to show each jump and write the size of the jump above it
• Write the number you are on after each jump under the line

Year 1 continued….
Core learning
Use vocabulary related to time; order days of the week and months; read the time to the hour and half
hour (Measuring)
Learning objective
We are learning to read the time to the hour and half hour
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Look at the big hand to see if the time is o’clock (pointing to the 12) or half past (pointing to the 6)
• Look at the number the little hand is pointing to, to see what hour it is (e.g. half past 8 or 10 o’clock…)
