1. Reception Maths Workshop
January 2018

2. 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.
