Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Spring Term Set 3
Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Spring Term Set 3 includes five ready-to-use morning starter mats, each organised into four short sections to help children settle quickly and work independently. Every mat follows the same clear structure (maths challenge, maths workout, spelling, and a writing task), making it ideal for consistent morning routines.
In this Spring Term set, children will practise:
- Subtraction and number understanding – solving subtraction calculations within 20, comparing subtractions, partitioning to subtract, and finding missing numbers in calculations and number sentences
- Problem solving with subtraction – working through simple word problems involving real-life contexts, including finding how many are left and comparing quantities
- Spelling and phonics tasks – writing real words, adding -ing to verbs, completing -ck and dr words, and spelling words from picture prompts
- Sentence structure and grammar – reordering words to make sensible sentences, identifying sentences that make sense, and adding capital letters and full stops
- Early writing skills – extending simple sentences, adding appropriate endings, and writing questions to match number sentences
These Year 1 morning starter mats work well as daily warm-ups, early finisher activities, or calm transition tasks, giving pupils regular practice with key maths and English skills in a familiar, structured format. Explore more sets in our full collection of Year 1 Morning Starter Mats.
