Why this why now
This unit provides opportunities for pupils to explore the composition of numbers to 5, representing and describing the numbers in different ways and in different contexts. In future units they will apply this to secure understanding the structures of addition and subtraction.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Count reliably up to 5
- Partition small numbers into parts
- Recognise that the whole is made up of parts

Composition of numbers 0 to 5
In this unit pupils will revisit how numbers are represented cardinally and ordinally. They will partition 1 - 5 in different ways, find a missing part when one part and the whole are known and explore one more and one less with numbers to five.
