Unit A – Counting Steps

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage One gets the children to use concrete equipment and diagrams to record how to count in steps of two, five and ten to calculate the sums of different numbers of objects. The class can explain how to find equal groups to illustrate multiplication calculations.

Use concrete equipment and diagrams to record how to count in steps of two, five and ten to calculate the sums of different numbers of objects

Lesson One : Counting Towers

Practise using a range of concrete equipment and number square diagrams to model and record how to count forward in different steps of ten to one hundred

Lesson Two : Fruit Boxes

Explain and model how to count in steps of five and ten to calculate the numbers of different types of fruit that have been packed into boxes

Lesson Three : Flower Pots

Practise counting in different sets of twos and tens to calculate the matching sums for numbers of flowers that are growing in a selection of plant pots

Lesson Four : Garden Groups

Explain and record how to select and sort different numbers of garden materials and objects into matching equal groups of two and ten for multiplication products

Lesson Five : Tree Leaves

Identify, count and record the number of leaves that can be seen on tree branches using different equal groups for twos, fives and tens

  • Number Order

    Number Order

    Identify and record the sequence of a selection of two digit numbers by the place value of their numerical digits when representing their order using concrete equipment and diagrams

  • Number Lines

    Number Lines

    Identify and record the position of a range of two digit numbers on different sized scales that extend from zero to one hundred place values

  • Number Words and Digits

    Number Words and Digits

    Match, compare and order a range of different two digit numbers that have been written in both words and digits from the smallest to biggest values

  • Number Frames

    Number Frames

    Explain and model how to use pictorial diagrams to represent the values of different numbers to one hundred that have been listed in both words and digits
