Name, show and put numbers from 0 to 20 in order
Ready to project and teach
Name, represent and order numbers including zero to at least 20, using physical and virtual materials and numerals.
Teacher talk: Count each counter once. The last number you say tells how many. A teen number can be shown as one full ten and extra ones.
Collect a requested quantity or match a numeral to a quantity; for example, collecting 9 paintbrushes after hearing "nine".
Recognise number order to 20 and identify one less and one more using card games, songs, storybooks and rhymes.
Use ordinal and positional language such as first, second, before, after and between.
Recognise, write and read numerals on familiar objects, images, texts and labels.
Display rule: one curriculum idea per line, one example per line, then one short teacher prompt.
How many counters are shown if the last number said is 14?
There are 14 counters. The last count tells the total.
What number comes before 15? What number comes after 15?
14 comes before 15. 16 comes after 15.
Why is zero still a number?
Zero means none. It is used when a collection has no objects.
Then say the number before 17 and the number after 17.
Mapped skill: name, represent and order numbers including zero to at least 20, using physical and virtual materials and numerals
