How Many Left 1 Lesson

This Year 1 How Many Left lesson covers the prior learning of finding one less, before moving onto the main skill of solving simple subtractions using number stories.

The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
