Numbers to 10

This unit focuses on children’s ability to recognise, represent and manipulate numbers to 10. They will begin by practising and developing their ability to sort and group objects using different criteria, then move on to counting groups of objects up to 10. They will learn to recognise and count different representations of numbers to 10 and use a ten frame to help structure counting and reasoning.

Assessing Mastery: 

Children who have mastered this unit will be able to confidently count forwards and backwards to and from 10. They will be able to recognise one more and one less than a number up to 10 and will be able to represent this using concrete, pictorial and abstract representations; they will use this understanding to correctly compare and order numbers.
