Children in KS1 will be learning about maths in a practical hands-on way, using everyday objects to solve problems and do simple calculations. They will be working individually, as a whole class and in groups, and will be learning to think about the methods they use for solving problems. They will be talking about their methods and using pictures, lists and tables to present their results.
