Number
By the end of Reception, our aim is for most children to be able to:
-
count objects reliably with numbers from 1 to 20
-
recognise and place numbers 1 to 20 in order
-
say which number is one more or one less than a given number
-
use quantities and objects to add two single-digit numbers and count on to find the answer
-
use quantities and objects to subtract by counting back to find the answer.
-
to solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing
Below are some fun games you can play at home to develop each of these:
