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
