Engaging Year 1 Place Value Resources for the Autumn Term

Help your pupils build a strong foundation in maths with our engaging Year 1 Place Value resources, carefully designed to support the national curriculum objectives for the autumn term. Place value is a key concept in early maths, helping pupils develop number sense, counting skills, and an understanding of how numbers are structured. Our high-quality resources make these essential skills accessible, ensuring pupils gain confidence in working with numbers up to 20.

Build Confidence in Counting to 20

One of the first maths skills pupils need to master in Year 1 is counting forwards and backwards to 20. Our resources provide a variety of engaging activities to help pupils count fluently, whether starting from 0, 1, or any given number. Through interactive number lines, practical counting exercises, and visual representations, pupils develop fluency and accuracy in their counting skills. These activities lay the groundwork for more advanced mathematical concepts later in the year.

Reading and Writing Numbers in Numerals and Words

Recognising, reading, and writing numbers to 20 is an important step in developing number sense. Our carefully designed worksheets and activities support pupils as they learn to match numerals with their written form. From number tracing sheets to simple word-matching exercises, our resources help pupils develop confidence in recognising and using number words, reinforcing their understanding of how numbers are represented.

Representing Numbers in Different Ways

To deepen understanding, pupils need to see numbers represented in various forms. Our Year 1 Place Value resources include activities using objects, pictorial representations, and number lines to illustrate different ways of understanding numbers up to 20. Pupils will explore ten frames, base ten blocks, and other visual aids to see the relationship between numbers and quantities. These resources encourage hands-on learning, making abstract concepts more concrete and meaningful.

Identifying One More and One Less

Understanding number relationships is key to developing strong number sense. Our one more and one less activities help pupils see patterns in numbers and prepare them for addition and subtraction. With interactive number lines, missing number puzzles, and engaging task cards, pupils will practise identifying one more and one less with confidence. These activities not only strengthen counting skills but also build the foundation for future problem-solving.
