Maths
Maths is a great way
To learn about shapes and space
It can help you understand
More about the world we live in
And it can help you figure out
What’s going on in your head
KS1 Maths
KS1 is so much fun
We get to learn about counting
and ordering everyone
We learn which number is first
and which one is last
we also learn about place value
It’s really amazing stuff
and it all helps us when we grow up
to be able to do the maths!
Counting
My teacher tells me to count
and get in order
ones, tens, hundreds
thousands and more.
But sometimes it is hard
especially when it’s not a number
I need to know.
Like if I’m trying to find my place
in a line or a space.
But I try my best
and I’m getting better at it each day
so maybe one day I’ll be able to say
I can count and I can order
Up to a million and beyond!!
Shapes
In math class today we learned about shapes.
The teacher said that a square has four equal sides,
while a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides.
A triangle has three sides that are equal in length,
while a circle has no corners
and a ball is the shape of a sphere.
Addition
Adding one plus one is always two
It’s very simple and easy to do
When we add more, the total grows
And we can see how much we’ve amassed.
With addition, we can keep track
Of just how big our number has become
By adding one more, we get to see
The sum of all that was added before.
Subtraction
Subtraction is the simple act of taking away.
One minus one is nothing, but when you add them back
together they make two once again.
This is the principle that we use in subtraction:
to take away a number, we just subtract it from the other.
We can use this method to find out how much is left
after something has been taken away.
Multiplication
Times tables, what a bore!
You must learn them if you want to soar
Through your math classes with ease
And get the best grades that you can achieve.
But don’t worry, it won’t be long
Before you’re breezing through each song
Of all the times tables there are
You’ll have them memorized in no time.
Division
When we divide something,
We can see it in smaller parts.
This makes it easier to understand,
And helps us learn about maths.
We can see division in everyday life,
Whenever we share something round.
It’s a way of working out how many there are,
Of anything that we might find.
I can count
I can count from one to ten,
twelve, thirteen, fourteen
fifteen, sixteen, seventeen
eighteen, nineteen and twenty!
I can count higher but I must be careful
or I’ll lose track and get all muddled up.
One hundred, two hundred
three hundred, four hundred
five hundred, six hundred
seven hundred and eight hundred!
Nine thousand, ten thousand
eleven thousand and twelve thousand!
thirteen thousand, fourteen thousand
fifteen thousand and sixteen thousand!
The Place Value of a Number
There’s something quite amazing
About the place value of a number
As we move along the digits
The value of each one is clear
When we add them all together
We get the number that we sought.
A Square, Rectangle and Oval
A square is a shape with four right angles.
It has four sides and four corners.
A square is perfectly symmetrical.
A square is always the same shape, no matter how you look at it.
A rectangle is a shape with four straight sides.
It has two short sides and two long sides.
A rectangle can be any size, big or small.
A rectangle can be symmetrical or not symmetrical
Depending on where you draw the line.
An oval is a shape with one big curve and no angles.
It has two equal lengths and one big curve in the middle.
An oval can be any size, big or small.
An oval can be symmetrical or not symmetrical
Depending on where you draw the line.
Shapes for drawing
Circles, squares, rectangles-
these are our friends
We’ll learn about them in school today
and we’ll never forget
Their shapes are so simple and neat
and easy for us to see
They’re perfect for drawing or painting
or making into a toy.
3D shapes
There are so many 3D shapes
Cube, cylinder, cone, sphere
They all have different features
And can be used in different ways.
Cubes are perfect for building towers
Cylinders are great for making tubes
Cones are perfect for holding sweets
And spheres make great balls.
Telling the time
Tell the time, tell the time
It’s ticking away like a countdown
In hours and minutes and seconds
We keep track of it so we know where we stand
What today has in store for us
What tomorrow may bring
The clock on the wall is our guide
It tells us when to wake up
When it’s time for bed
When to eat and when to work
It helps us make sense of our days
So tell me, what time is it now?
Is it morning or afternoon?
Is it close to supper time?
Or maybe it’s already midnight!
Telling the time
Tells us what hour it is
And what day it is
A very simple thing
But so important to know
Especially for when we’re late!
We tell the time by looking at a clock
And finding the hour and minute hands
We can tell what time it is by how they point.
I Can Count Money
I can count money, pennies and pounds.
I know what a penny is, and a pound.
I can count up to 20, all on my own.
I know that a penny is worth 1p,
And a pound is worth 100 pennies!!
