One more and one less to 50 activity cards
These one more and one less to 50 activity cards are designed to help Year 1 pupils develop their understanding of place value and counting skills. Aligned with the maths mastery approach and the Year 1 National Curriculum, these cards provide hands-on practical activities that are ideal for continuous provision or dedicated maths lessons.
Each card encourages children to identify one more and one less than a given number up to 50, using objects and pictorial representations. The activities are designed to be clear enough for children to complete independently once the learning has been modelled. These cards are also excellent for demonstrating learning and progression when added to children’s books alongside photographs.
Use these activity cards to deepen understanding and improve mathematical fluency. They support objectives such as counting forwards and backwards to 50, reading and writing numbers to 50 in numerals, and identifying and representing numbers using objects and pictorial representations, including the number line.
