What's included in the Subtraction - Find a Part Continuous Provision resource and why is it useful?

Year 1 Subtraction - Find a Part 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 represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 10.

This pack includes ideas for the following areas:

• Role play area – sell cakes and find how many are unsold.

• Maths area – find the number piece that fills the gap.

• Malleable area – find how many dough ice creams have no flake.

• Fine motor area – move pompoms and find how many are still in the pot.

• Sand area – find how many sandcastles are still standing.

• Reading area – act out a frog rhyme and subtract.

• Investigation area – catch fish and find how many are still in the pond.

• Maths area – take counters off a ten frame and subtract.

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 Subtraction - Find a Part 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.
