![](https://clickprimary.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ks1_maths_y1_t3_unit_a_counting_steps_03_index.png)
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to 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.
The class can identify and model how to make examples of flowers which can then be arranged into groups of two and ten to support number calculations for multiplication products.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to 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
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to identify and record the numbers of flowers that can be counted in different numbers of pots by counting in twos and tens and a set of cards to produce models of flowers as concrete equipment to support counting in steps of two and ten
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to count in different sets of twos and tens to calculate the sums for numbers of flowers growing in pots.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
