These Year 2 Add and Subtract 1s activities are fantastic for any continuous provision you are providing, or simply for placing adding and subtracting 1s in to different contexts. The activities come with brief instructions about how to set up and then lead the task, or to explain in the least onerous way possible to a child so they can undertake the task independently. Six different activities are included, such as a small-world activity, sand activity and one based on a tuff tray. Subtracting and adding 1s has never been so much fun.
