Lesson details
Key learning points
- Secure knowledge and recognition of the digits 0-10 to work out missing numbers on both number track and number lines.
Common misconception
Pupils may not realise that a count with a missing number or number in the wrong place is incorrect.
Reinforce the stable order of our counting to and from 10 and highlight clearly when that order is not correct or there is a number missing.
Keywords
One more than - One more than is when there is a greater amount by one or another item in the set.
One less than - One more than is when there is a smaller amount by one or an item has been removed from the set.
Compare - We compare to find out what is the same and what is different. We can compare numbers to find out if one is more than or less than another.
Order - We can order numbers from the smallest to the largest or from the largest to the smallest. The order stays the same when you count.
