Expert Key Stage 1 Maths Tutoring: Years 1 & 2
KS1 Maths Tutoring for Years 1 & 2
Key Stage 1 Mathematics is the foundational bedrock of your child's learning journey. Designed for children in Years 1 and 2 (ages 5-7), our programme is carefully structured to do more than just teach numbers. We aim to ignite a genuine curiosity and enjoyment for maths, building a deep, lasting confidence. Drawing directly from the National Curriculum for England, we focus on developing fluency with fundamental concepts, the ability to reason mathematically, and the resilience to solve problems, setting your child up for a lifetime of success.
Why Choose Jaya's Academy?
While older students follow specific exam boards, Key Stage 1 is structured around the Department for Education's National Curriculum. Our teaching is precisely aligned with this framework, ensuring your child develops the essential skills, knowledge, and understanding expected of them. We gently prepare children for their end-of-stage assessments (Year 2 SATs) in a positive and confidence-building environment, focusing on understanding, not just test-taking.
What We Offer
In-depth coverage of the entire KS1 National Curriculum, ensuring no gaps in learning.
Regular, fun, and engaging practice with detailed, encouraging feedback to guide improvement.
Focused and personalised support to help every child overcome challenging topics.
Developing persistence and focus to empower children to tackle multi-step problems.
Familiarisation with SATs-style questions through playful activities to reduce any anxiety.
Clear, child-friendly explanations and ample practice to build unshakeable confidence.
Gentle assessments and progress tracking to ensure they are fully prepared for the next stage.
The Key Stage 1 SATs consist of two papers: Paper 1 (Arithmetic) and Paper 2 (Reasoning), both of which are fully covered in our tuition.
Key Topics Covered Under Key Stage 1 Mathematics
Our curriculum is organised into the key mathematical domains specified by the National Curriculum, ensuring comprehensive development. We weave problem-solving and mathematical reasoning into every topic.
-
Number and Place Value
Developing a solid understanding of numbers is the first step. Children will learn to count forwards and backwards to 100, read and write numbers, understand place value (tens and ones), and use language like 'more than', 'less than', and 'equal to'.
-
Addition and Subtraction
We build fluency by mastering number bonds to 20 and related subtraction facts. Children will learn to add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers and apply these skills to solve practical one-step problems using objects and pictures.
-
Multiplication and Division
Children are introduced to multiplication and division through hands-on activities. They will learn to solve problems involving grouping and sharing, use arrays, and become fluent in the 2, 5, and 10 multiplication tables.
-
Fractions
We introduce fractions in a visual and intuitive way. Your child will learn to recognise, find, and name a half (1/2) as one of two equal parts and a quarter (1/4) as one of four equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity.
-
Measurement
Students will explore and compare different quantities, learning to use standard units. This includes measuring length (cm, m), mass (g, kg), capacity (ml, l), and time (seconds, minutes, hours). They will also learn to recognise coins and notes and solve simple problems with money.
-
Geometry
This area covers both shape and space. Children will learn to recognise and name common 2D shapes (e.g., squares, circles, triangles) and 3D shapes (e.g., cubes, spheres, pyramids). They will also learn to describe position, direction, and movement, including whole, half, quarter, and three-quarter turns.
-
Statistics
Introducing the concept of collecting, organising, and interpreting data. Children will learn to construct and understand simple pictograms, tally charts, and block diagrams to answer questions and compare information.
