This week we have introduced the concept of 1 more. We looked at a numberline to 10 and worked out that 1 more is the number after a number because we are adding 1 more. We used objects to show how we can find 1 more.
Using toys or other objects ask your child to find a given number of objects eg 4. When they have counted out 4 ask them what 1 more is. They need to understand that they need to add another object to show 1 more is 5. We ask the children to explain their answer by saying the sentence 5 is 1 more than 4 etc. Please start by finding 1 more to 5 and when the children are confident to 5 work up to 10.
