Number coverage ELG www.earlybirdyeducation.com This is a breakdown of the number coverage which should be taught to ensure children meet the early learning goals. www.earlybirdyeducation.com

ELG- Number www.earlybirdyeducation.com Halving and sharing: Addition and Subtraction: Doubling: To recognise - + = symbols and their meaning. Are they able to solve number sentences and write their own? Can they turn a word problem into a number sentence? To recognise that double is the same again. Are children beginning to use their own method to find double of a number e.g. dots, tally , number line. Introduce odd and even vocabulary when sharing objects and sets. Can they recognise how to half a number? And how to share an amount. ELG- Number Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing. Counting: Place Value: More and less: Word problems: Ensure the children can recognise numerals 0-20. are they able to count forwards and backwards, put numbers in order and count in 2s or 5s. Are children able to recognise which number is higher/lower? Can they find the missing numbers? And place random numbers in place value order e.g. 2, 5, 8, 10, 17 Make problems real to give meaning and purpose. E.g. I had 4 apples and snack time and 6 more at lunch, how many did I eat altogether? Pose everyday problems- who has more bricks? Can I share these biscuits? Use vocabulary more/less and get children to understand more/less by comparing amounts. Begin to use a number line to show 2 more, 2 less. Can they understand that moving forwards mean more? www.earlybirdyeducation.com
