Teacher Notes

These materials relate to aspects of National Curriculum Attainment Target 2: Number.

Specifically:
"Pupils count, order, add and subtract numbers when solving problems involving up to 10 objects. They read and write the numbers involved". (Level 1).


Instructions for pupils:
To begin, the pupils should move their pointer over the picture to the left. This shows the link between number values and counting. Then there are two pages of information on counting numbers, which ask pupils to follow animations which count up to ten. When pupils feel familiar with this they can move on to the Quiz Bank.
Each quiz consists of 10 multiple choice questions (apart from Quiz 5 which has 20). Pupils can have as many guesses as they like at each question, but only when they get the correct answer will the smiley face appear. Pupils can at any point choose to move on to the next question, but if they do so without entering the correct response a "frowny" face will be added. On completion of each quiz a total sheet appears with a smiley for each correct answer, and a frowny for each incorrect answer.
Quiz 1 and 2 require pupils to count collections of objects.
Quiz 3 and 4 require pupils to count collections of objects where some may be moving or changing colour.
Quiz 5 requires pupils to perform addition or subtraction by observing animations. We will be adding additional features to these units, as well as developing more activities over the summer All answers are between 1 and 10.

Classroom Management:

If this is the first time that the pupil will be using these materials, it is recommended that an older pupil or adult accompany them to help with reading and navigation. Later they should be able to work alone - or at least with an "experienced" peer.
