Counting Counting orally (ones, twos, fives and tens) Counting objects to ten and beyond Counting out objects up to ten Counting actions or objects that can not be moved Climb up the beanstalk, ladder, spout etc. One to one correspondence. Not always in a line or grouped together. Cover your eyes and count the coins dropping into the glass, check afterwards before going on to counting claps, hops, jumps etc. Counting out objects; have you enough to give me four, five? Place 4, 5, 6, 7 objects in the frame etc

Number Recognition Recognise numbers of personal significance Selects the numeral to represent 1-5 objects and then 1- 10 Counting and ordering numbers to 20 Writing numbers: personal significance, shoe size, age, door number

Comparing and Estimating Comparing amounts, what colour/object do we have more/ fewer of? Estimate- how many can you see? How many lego bricks tall/ wide do you think … is? Estimate how many they can see before counting. Estimate and measure using nonstandard measurements. Sorting.

Adding and Subtracting Find the ‘total’ amount One more/ one fewer from a group of up to 5 objects and then 10 object Says one more than a given number Using objects and quantities adds and subtracts two- one digit numbers Encourage them to bring to the groups together before counting initially. Number line. Actions to accompany language to aid their understanding.

Shapes 2D and 3D shapes Spotting shapes in the environment Making arrangements with shapes Describing the properties of shapes number of sides and faces etc Flat and solid.
