Sort objects
Ask children what ways they think objects can be sorted.
Discuss the different ways. For example: Colour, type, size, etc.
See presentation. Before counting, children will sort events into groups based on various characteristic. For example, size, colour and type. Children may start by sorting counters into two colour groups and then progress to sorting the same set of objects into different ways. For example, pencils may be sorted by colour but could also be sorted by size. In this lesson children will work practically choosing objects around the class and sorted them by either colour, size or type. Ask questions such as: How can we sort the objects? How else can we sort the objects? How have these objects been sorted? Can we sort the objects by colour? size? type? Can we make two groups from the set of objects? Can you make three groups from the set of objects?
Practical – Sort objects
Children will use the sorting tables or headed sugar paper stating a characteristic. They must hunt round the classroom to find groups of objects to satisfy that characteristic (e.g. colour - children may find groups of red items, blue items, etc) and place them on headed sugar paper.
★☆☆ - Developing: Children will be given objects on their table and sort them based on their characteristics. Children will use sorting labels for guidance (e.g. colour, size, type). ★★☆ - Secure: Children will perform a class hunt in partners exploring as many different ways they can sort the same group of objects (e.g. sorted by colour, size, type).
★★★ - Mastery: Children will perform a class hunt exploring as many different ways they can sort the same group of objects (e.g. sorted by colour, size, type). Children will then progress to writing sentences explaining how they have sorted the objects.
Extension – Sorting groups
Activity – Sort objects
Children will will sort objects into the table by following the instructions given.
Developing children may work in partners for this. 2
Sort objects:
See presentation. Children should now be confident sorting items. They will progress from working practically to using pictorial representations explaining how they have or how they could be sorted. Children should be encouraged to think of more than one way items can be sorted and it is important they are exposed to a variety of objects and contexts. Ask questions such as: How can we sort the objects? Can you describe this? How else can we sort the objects? How have these objects been sorted? Can we sort the objects by colour? size? type? Is there more than one way of sorting the objects? Can you show this using equipment? Can you sort the objects into two group? three groups?
★☆☆ - Developing: See – Worksheets – Sort objects (Page 1) – Children will sort objects into 2 groups by size and colour by completing the stem sentences.
★★☆ - Secure: See – Worksheets – Sort objects (page 2) - Children will sort objects into up to 3 groups in multiple ways using different characteristics.
★★★ - Mastery: See – Worksheets – Sort objects - (Page 3) – Children will use their problem solving skills to explore how many different ways groups of objects can be sorted based on their characteristics (e.g. colour, shape, size, type).
Challenge cards – Sort objects
Differentiated activity requiring children to use their knowledge of sorting objects to complete various problem solving and reasoning activities.
Developing children may use equipment such as counters to help them visualise the problems.

Count objects
Count objects game > count to 10:
See presentation. Children will progress from sorting objects to counting objects up to 10. Children must count one at a time starting from one and realise the last number they count is the total number of objects. Children will choose the best method of counting dependent on the context (for example, moving objects to one side as they count, crossing objects off). Ask question such as: Can you count from 1 to 10? How many objects are there in total? Do you start from 0 or 1 when you count? Can you show me 0 – 10 on your fingers?
★☆☆ - Developing: See – Worksheets – Count objects (Page 1 & 2) – Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic.
★★☆ - Secure: See – Worksheets – Count objects - (page 3 & 4) - Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic and draw objects based on the total given.
★★★ - Mastery: See – Worksheets – Count objects - (Page 5 & 6) – Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic and draw objects based on the total given. Children will use their problem solving and reasoning skills to solve various problems.
Activity - Count objects
Children will count the number of items and stick the correct number next to it. 4
Represent objects
Recap counting:
Show two different colour counters on the ten frames. Children must count the number of each colour.
See presentation. As children are now confident counting objects, they will progress to representing objects in various ways. For example, one cube can represent one apple. Children will be exposed to pictorial representations enabling them to put counters on top allowing them to count the number. Children will progress to representing objects in one way to representing them in a range of ways such as using equipment, drawing a picture representation, written form and numeral form. Ask question such as: Can you use equipment to show the amount? How many ways can you represent the number __? Can you draw a picture to show the number __? Can you write the written form of __?
★☆☆ - Developing: See – Worksheets – Represent objects (Page 1 & 2) – Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic.
★★☆ - Secure: See – Worksheets – Represent objects (page 3 & 4) - Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic and draw objects based on the total given.
★★★ - Mastery: See – Worksheets – Represent objects - (Page 5 – 7) – Children will complete the sentences counting objects up to 10. They will then progress to counting objects based on one characteristic and draw objects based on the total given. Children will use their problem solving and reasoning skills to solve various problems.
Activity – Puzzle picture
Differentiated activity requiring children to use counters to help them count the different sea animals in the picture. 5
Put a number within 10 on the board. Ask children to draw a matching picture representation on their whiteboards. Ask children if they have drawn them in a random order or in a straight line and ask them to why they have chosen that method.
See presentation. Children should now be confident representing numbers in various ways. In this lesson children will work practically by representing numbers up to ten in written form, numeral form, using a range of equipment and drawing a pictorial representation. At this stage, children are not always given the numeral form. It is important that children are exposed to a variety of equipment. Ask question such as: How many ways can you represent the number __? What is the best equipment to use to represent __ ? Can you draw a picture to show the number __? What is the written form? Numeral form?
Practical – Represent objects
Counters, cubes, beads or other manipulatives can be used to help children complete the ‘show it’ box. Blank templates are provided allowing children to create their own representations.
★☆☆ - Developing: Children will work with numbers up to 5. Children will be given 2 boxes completed in each table to help them fill in the remaining boxes. ★★☆ - Secure: Children will work with numbers up to 10. Children will be given 2 boxes completed in each table to help them fill in the remaining boxes.
★★★ - Mastery: Children will work with numbers up to 10. Children are provided with only one representation in each table.
Activity – Represent objects
Children will use counters to help them count what they can see in the pictures.
Developing children may work in partners for this activity.
