Building to 10 Year 1 Maths Unit

Click here to preview this resource
Building to 10 develops the Year 1 number knowledge students need to recognise, represent, recall and apply the pairs that combine to make 10.
The teaching sequence begins with visual rainbow, ten-frame and part-part-whole representations before moving into missing addends, turnaround facts, simple addition stories and reasoning. A 14-slide editable presentation supports explicit teaching, while a 22-slide editable quiz provides 10 questions with answer and feedback slides.
The printable resource set includes a colour display, reference cards, two reusable games or activities, 11 black-and-white student practice pages with matching red-answer pages, a two-page assessment with matching answers and a marking rubric. The collection is suitable for whole-class teaching, guided groups, maths rotations, partner work, independent practice, review and assessment across approximately one school week.
