What's included in the Addition - Add Together Continuous Provision resource and why is it useful?

Year 1 Addition - Add Together Continuous Provision resource includes planning for eight provision activities. The planning can be used to set up the activities in one or more provision areas, such as small world, construction or maths area. The activities have been designed for children to access independently as part of the lesson or as a follow-up. Each activity covers how to add 1-digit numbers to 10 by adding together.

This pack includes ideas for the following areas:

• Fine motor area – peg washing from two baskets onto one line and count it altogether

• Role play area – combine books from two return baskets on a library trolley

• Maths/Creative area – create adding machines with junk modelling materials

• Creative area – make paper flowers and count how many petals in each colour and then count them altogether

• Maths area – fill ten frames with two colours of counters and record number sentences

• Water area – rescue fish from two tubs into one pond and count them altogether

• Outdoor area – throw beanbags into a bucket and count how many altogether

• Small world area – join animals from two fields into one barn

How do our continuous provision resources work?

Our Continuous Provision resources work best alongside our teaching PowerPoints, which walk you through the whole lesson along with other lesson resources that you can find on our Addition - Add Together lesson page. Children can use the activities to flexibly access their learning to improve fluency or to deepen and apply their knowledge as part of their reasoning and problem solving.

The Continuous Provision activities:

• Can be used at different points throughout the lesson.

• Can be used alongside the Varied Fluency and Reasoning and Problem Solving worksheets to provide meaningful opportunities for practice.

• Can be used to revisit the activities to consolidate their understanding, giving them the time and space to really focus and deepen their thinking and reasoning skills, which supports mastery of the concept.

• Support observation and assessment as children apply their learning independently through play.
