Key Stage 1 Curriculum

The consultant

MATH

Year 1 Mathematics Programme is designed to instruct children in the following areas:

  1. Numbers – understanding numbers and their values (from 1 to 100)
  2. Addition and subtraction – at least up to 20
  3. Solving single-step problems involving multiplication and division
  4. An initial introduction to fractions
  5. Measurements
  6. Characteristics of shapes, as well as position and direction

We are firmly against the use of calculators as a replacement for solid written and mental arithmetic skills at this stage. According to the National Curriculum, calculators should only be introduced towards the end of key stage 2 to aid pupils' conceptual understanding and exploration of more intricate number problems, provided that their written and mental arithmetic skills are well-established.
