Year 1 and Year 2 Long Term Plan for Maths (White Rose)
This is a Long Term Plan for this academic year (2023-24) which matches the White Rose Maths Scheme block units for their Mixed age Year 1/2 new version.
This plan has been tweaked to ensure that blocks are being taught at the same time for both year groups.
You will notice more opportunities for consolidation for both year groups. I have extended Year 1s Place Value (within 50) unit to three weeks rather than two.
Hope this helps you!
