What's included in Introduce Parts and Wholes Continuous Provision resource and why is it useful?

Year 1 Introduce Parts and Wholes 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 identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations.

This pack includes ideas for the following areas:

• Maths area – split a group of objects between two plates

• Construction area – build a tower then break it into two parts

• Small World area – move frogs between a log and a pond

• Malleable area – share dough cakes or biscuits between two plates

• Creative area – make a picture using two coloured stamper and count each part

• Maths area – use bead strings of 10 or a counting frame to slide the beads and count either side

• Outdoor area – throw bean bags inside and outside a hoop

• Sand area – scoop buried treasure into two buckets

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 Introduce Parts and Wholes 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.
