Counting and Recognising Numbers

2-8 Counting

Say and use the number names in order in familiar contexts such as number rhymes, songs, stories, counting games and activities (first to five, then ten, then twenty and beyond). (p.2)	Counting in ones.	PrimaryResources: Swinging Ted
Recite the number names in order, continuing the count forwards or backwards from a given number. (p.2,3)	Counting in ones.	PrimaryResources: Swinging Ted
Count reliably up to 10 everyday objects (first to 5, then 10, then beyond), giving just one number name to each object.Recognise small numbers without counting. (p.4,5)
Begin to recognise 'none' and 'zero' in stories, rhymes and when counting. (p.5)
Count reliably in other contexts, such as clapping sounds or hopping movements. (p.6)
Count in tens. (p.7)	Counting machine, counts in 1's ,2's, 5's, 10's	Ambleside:Big Count
Count in twos. (p.7)	Counting machine, counts in 1's ,2's, 5's, 10's	Ambleside:Big Count
Estimate a number in the range that can be counted reliably, then check by counting. (p.8)

9-10 Reading and writing numbers

Recognise numerals 1 to 9, then 0 and 10, then beyond 10. (p.9)
Begin to record numbers, initially by making marks, progressing to simple tallying and writing numerals. (p.10)

11-13 comparing and odering numbers

Use language such as more or less, greater or smaller, to compare two numbers and say which is more or less, and say a number which lies between two given numbers. (p11, 12)
Order a given set of numbers: for example, the set of numbers 1 to 6 given in random order. (p.12)	Lovely self checking activity of ordering numbers progressing to numbers less than 20	Primary Resources: Number Order
Order a given set of selected numbers:for example, the set 2, 5, 1, 8, 4. (p.12)	Lovely self checking activity of ordering numbers progressing to numbers less than 20	Primary Resources: Number Order
Begin to understand and use ordinal numbers in different contexts. (p.13)
