Progression Know that numbers identify how many objects are in a set Compare and order numbers, using the related vocabulary; use the equals (=) sign Count up to 100 objects by grouping them and counting in tens, fives or twos; explain what each digit in a two-digit number represents, including numbers where 0 is a place holder; partition two-digit numbers in different ways, including into multiples of 10 and 1

12 – 5 =

=

Partitioning 12 1 ten 2 units

= = 5 = 55

= = = 73

Problem Solving 1 x 2 = 2 2 x 2 = 4 3 x 2 = 6 4 x 2 = 8 5 x 2 = 10

How many ways ? 3 x 10 = = 30 Three tens = 30

Array 4 lots of 6 = 24

Count on in threes X 3 = 15

Anne packs apples in trays of 15. If she has 4 trays how many apples are there?
