The Maths and Me Approach
Designed to make the implementation of the new Primary Maths Curriculum a practical, straight-forward, and supported journey for teachers and pupils, Maths and Me gives special consideration to supporting the five key pedagogical practices recommended, breaking down the new curriculum into lesson plans that are manageable, well structured, engaging, and child-friendly.
l Each unit is subdivided into lessons with detailed lesson plans provided in the Teacher’s Planning Book
l Each unit ends with a ‘Review and Reflect’ lesson which features a useful menu of potential activities that teachers can choose from to support the needs of their class.

Unit 8: Numbers
6 to 8
Day 4, Lesson 4
Consolidation of Number (0−8)
Focus of learning (with Elements)
● Explores how the layout of or size of elements in a set has no effect on the overall total (conservation of number) (U&C)
● Subitises (looks at a group of objects and realises how many there are, without counting) number of objects in a set (U&C)
D C P Learning experiences
Digital activities: Subitising and Conservation of Number A–E MAM Routines: Reason&Respond/QuickImages Concrete activities: Consolidation of Number Pupil’s Book page 44: Consolidation of Number (0−8)
● There is no new maths language for this lesson. Maths language
D Digital activities: Subitising and Conservation of Number A–E MAM Routines: Reason & Respond/ Quick Images Use the Quick Images activities and the slideshows. In these activities, the children are subitising amounts on five frames, on ten frames, in different arrays and scattered at random. Do they realise that it is easier to subitise and count when the objects are in lines (arrays)? They will look at two different sets and respond to the question: ‘What is the same and what is different?’
C Concrete activities: Consolidation of Number For these activities, the children should all have the same type of manipulative (e.g. counters). Activity 1: Subitising Distribute manipulatives and a five frame from PCM 7 – Five Frames to each child. Say/ask: ● Pick up a handful of counters. Can you guess how many you have?
Equipment
● Manipulatives (bears, counters, beads, links, interlocking cubes, 2-D and 3-D shapes)
Warm-up
Teaching tip: For each slide or image, ask:
● Does each set have the same amount? Some children may think that because the objects are spread out, or the objects are larger, that the set has a greater number of objects.
Main event
● Put your counters on your five frame.
● Count them. How many do you have?
● How did you show your set/counters on the five frame? (e.g. for four counters, two counters, then a gap, then two more counters)
● Put them on your five frame. How many did you pick up? 03 Maths and Me JI TRB LP.indd 25
● Can you pick up about five counters? Count them.

Maths language Choral counting Ask the children to use their fingers to form the numerals 6, 7 and 8. They might need help from a partner. Prompt them to use the following language: after, before, in between. They could also draw the numbers on their MWB. Chant the numbers 1 to 10 or revisit the animation titled ‘Count with Monty’.

Counting 1 to 8
● Recites forward to at least 10 (U&C)
● Recognises numbers, initially within 10 (U&C)
● Attends to numerals of significance or importance to the child (U&C)
● Demonstrates an awareness of and uses numerals in personally meaningful contexts (C)

Tell the children to count with Monty and help him name the numbers. Assess the following: ● Are they counting in sequence (not missing any number)? ● Are they counting each number (once not twice)? ● Can they start at a number (e.g. 4) and count on? ● Can they stop at a designated number (e.g. count to 7)? ● Can they recognise each number and its position? They are also answering questions such as: ● Is anyone in the class five years old? Where is that number on the stepping stones? (in-between 4 and 6, after 4, before 6) ● Is anyone four/six years old? Where is that number? (in-between … and …, after …, before …) ● What age will you be on your next birthday? ● Does anyone have a sister/brother who is seven/ eight years old? ● Does anyone know the number of their house? ● Is anyone’s house number between 1 and 10? ● What number comes after 6? ● What number comes before 8? ● What number comes in-between 6 and 8?

I love the layout and the detail of the plans. The lessons are well suited to the given objectives while also being varied, interactive and fun for the children.”
“Lessons are laid out very well with excellent progression. There are plenty of suggested activities to consolidate learning objectives.”
“Liked the content, the progression of the material, the interactive content was excellent. Posters and visuals were also great as a reference and teaching resource. Class enjoyed the material and I found the Teacher Resource Pack was a fantastic resource, well-structured great layout to each lesson, overview was great and the suggested integration, differentiation and assessment was good too.”
“I am impressed by the amount of detail and the variety of learning experiences/resources in each lesson. It links in well with the new curriculum and I actually find that it makes the new curriculum seem attainable…”
