How is it used in EYFS and KS1?
Counting and understanding
number EYFS
• Say and use number names in order
• Know that numbers identify how
many objects are in a set
• Count reliably up to 10 everyday
objects
• Estimate how many objects and
check by counting
• Count aloud in 1s, 2s, 5s or 10s
• Use ‘more’ or ‘less’ to compare two
numbers
• Use ordinal numbers
• Recognise numerals 1 to 9

number in Year 1
• Count reliably at least 20
objects,
• Estimate a number of objects
that can be checked by counting
• Compare and order numbers
• Read and write numerals from 0
to 20,
• Say the number 1 more or less
than any number, and 10 more or
less for multiples of 10

Develop recall of number bonds
Find all the pairs which total 10.
Prove it!
Can you see a pattern?

Counting and understanding
number Year 2
• Read and write 2 digit and 3 digit
numbers
• Describe and extend number
sequences
• Recognise odd and even numbers
• Group objects in 10s, 5s or 2s to
count
• Explain what each digit in a twodigit number represents,
• Partition 2 digit numbers in
different ways,
• Use the > and < signs to compare
numbers

How can I support my child?
Be positive
about maths
“It wasn’t like this
when I was at school!”
How can I support my child?
Guess the shape
Find the shape
Make a pair
How can I support my child?
“Tables”
“4 and 4 is
the same as 8”
“What is the difference
between 3 and 7?”
Mind your language!
“Is 5 an odd
number?”
“Which is bigger;
9 or 7?”
“Take away”
How can I support my child?
Language to support understanding of addition
What is the sum of 3 and 6?
3 add 6
3 more than 6
3 plus 6
What is the total of 3 and 6?
How many do 3 and 6 make altogether?
How can I support my child?
Language to support understanding of subtraction
10 subtract 4
How much more is 10 than 4?
What is the difference between 4 and 15?
Starting at 4, how many more to make 15?
15 minus 4
4 less than 15
How can I support my child?
What is the total
of the numbers on
these dice?
