Adding and subtracting in Reception ELG: 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. ELG: Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. Children should be confident in the following in order to achieve these Early Learning Goals: Counting to 20 forwards and backwards in the correct order. Ordering numbers to 20. Understanding one more and one less than a given number. Understanding the quantity of each number- numicon, multi-link cubes etc. Count objects correctly- saying one number for each object they count.
Practical activities Practical resources used: Numicon Counting objects Multi-link cubes Tens Frames Counters

Children should be confident in the following in order to achieve this Early Learning Goal: One to one correspondence. Familiar with some number bonds.
