Comparing Numbers: One More — Interactive Lesson (Ages 5–6)

What is one more than 8 cakes? This 33-slide interactive lesson teaches Year 1 children how to find 1 more than a number.

Learning One More in Year 1 Maths

Children learn to identify 1 more of a given number, and to count and draw 1 more of a number. Story problems make it concrete: Mrs Craig has 8 cakes and adds one more, Darren has 12 Easter eggs, Peter Rabbit gathers one more carrot, and a tree grows one more orange. Children also count the sweets in a jar and write the number that is 1 more in numerals and words, and choose the number card that is one more than 50.
