Continue and create number patterns
  • Model and describe 'odd' and 'even' numbers using items paired in two rows

  • Count forwards and backwards by twos from any starting point

Represent numbers on a line
  • Sequence numbers and arrange them on a line by considering the order and size of those numbers

  • Locate the approximate position of multiples of 10 on a model of a number line from 0 to 100

Represent the structure of groups of ten in whole numbers
  • Recognise that ten ones is the same as one ten

  • Use 10 as a reference in forming numbers from 11 to 20

  • Count large sets of objects by systematically grouping in tens

  • Partition two-digit numbers to show quantity values

  • Use number lines and number charts to assist with locating the nearest ten to a number
