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
