1. 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.

2. 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 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?
