Unit D – One Less

This numeracy scheme of work for the Foundation Stage gets the children to identify and record counted sets of objects that are one less than different numbers to ten on the theme of farms and farming. The class can use concrete objects to count and find the sums that are one less to record using matching numbered diagrams.
