• Subitise.

• Link the number symbol (numeral) with its cardinal number value.

• Compare numbers.

• Explore the composition of numbers to 10.

• Automatically recall number bonds for numbers 0–10.

EARLY LEARNING GOALS:

• Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number.

• Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5.

• Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts

NUMERICAL PATTERNS

Count objects, actions and sounds.

• Count beyond ten.

• Compare numbers.

• Understand the ‘one more than/one less than’ relationship between consecutive numbers.

• Explore the composition of numbers to 10.

EARLY LEARNING GOALS:

• Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system.

• Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity.

• Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally
