One more and one less
Draft: not yet checked by a teacherThey're learning to find the number that's one more or one less than any number up to 10.
How they're taught to do it
- Show the number with objects, then add one or take one away.
- Use a number track: one more is the next number along.
- One less is the number just before.
Worked example
1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 One less than 5 is 4. One more than 5 is 6.
Avoid"Plus one" and "minus one". Year 1 use "one more" and "one less" first.
