In Dosbarth Un, we focus a lot on Maths and Numeracy skills and implement these throughout our curriculum.
We use a range of mathematical strategies and programmes, such as TAPAS, White Rose, and Conkers.
Our numeracy focuses in Dosbarth Un are:
| Autumn |
Place Value
- Partition teen numbers (e.g. 17 = 10 + 7)
- Read and write numbers to 20
- Order and compare numbers to 20 (in 1s, 2s, 5s)
- Find 1/2 more or less to 20
- Count objects reliably up to 20
Addition and Subtraction
- Know number bonds of 4 and 5
- Partition and recombine 6–9, anchoring on 5
- Use visual aids (numicon, coins, fingers) to show number facts
- Explore doubles to 10 using practical resources
- Connect doubling and halving
- Add two groups to at least 10 (using visible/hidden counters)
- Subtract within 10 (using visible/hidden collections)
- Use +, –, and = symbols correctly
Money
- Find totals to 10p using two items
- Use different coin combinations to make totals (e.g. 8p = 5p + 1p + 1p + 1p)
- Give change from 10p
Number Sequences
- Count in 1s to 50, 10s to 100, 5s to 20 (forward/backward)
- Copy, make and continue repeating patterns
Time
- Talk about time during the day
- Use language for days, months, seasons
- Read o’clock on analogue clocks
Measuring
- Measure using non-standard units
- Estimate length, height and distance
2D Shapes
- Recognise and name common 2D shapes
- Create and spot symmetrical shapes
Position and Movement
- Describe position, direction, and movement
Statistics
- Sort using 2 criteria (e.g. Venn diagrams)
- Collect and represent data using pictures or objects

Place Value
- Partition 2-digit numbers (e.g. 46 = 4 tens + 6 ones)
- Read and write numbers to at least 20 correctly
- Count objects to 20 by anchoring on 10 (e.g. 10 + 4)
- Compare, order, and estimate numbers to 20
Addition and Subtraction
- Recall number bonds to 10 using songs and resources
- Recall doubles and halves to 10
- Use counting on/back strategies to solve problems within 20
- Add/subtract 10 using partitioning (e.g. 10 + 3 = 13)
Money
- Pay up to 20p using different coin combinations, anchoring on 10p
Multiplication and Division
- Use early multiplication language when making equal groups
- Explore doubling (e.g. same number of spots on both wings)
- Use early division and halving when sharing into two groups
Number Sequences
- Recite numbers to 100 (forward/backward/from different points)
- Count in 2s to 20
- Continue complex repeating patterns (shapes, sounds, movement)
Time
- Use time language daily (days, months, seasons)
- Read o’clock on digital clocks
Measuring
- Measure weight/mass with non-standard units
- Estimate weight sensibly
3D Shapes
- Name and recognise 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, cone, sphere)
- Begin comparing and sorting them
Position and Movement
- Make and describe whole and half turns

| Summer |
Place Value
- Understand place value in teen numbers
- Use bead bar to link money (10p and 1p coins)
- Position numbers to 50 on number lines
- Order number cards within 50 (smallest to largest)
- Read/write numbers beyond 20 and number words to 10
Addition and Subtraction
- Recall number bonds to 10
- Learn doubles beyond 5 and near doubles (e.g. 4+5 from 4+4)
- Make addition/subtraction links using number bonds (e.g. 9–2=7)
- Solve one-step and missing number problems (e.g. 6 + ? = 10)
Money
- Add prices to 20p using number facts
- Find change within 10p using subtraction
Multiplication and Division
- Make equal groups and link to repeated addition (e.g. 5 groups of 2)
Number Sequences
- Count to 100 forwards/backwards from any number
- Count in 2s, 5s, 10s using coins and rhythm
- Say next or previous 1–3 numbers in a sequence
Time
- Use time language daily (days, months, seasons)
- Match times to daily events (e.g. 3 o’clock = home time)
Measuring
- Measure capacity using non-standard units
- Estimate capacity sensibly
Temperature
- Use terms like warmer/cooler in context
Shapes
- Use and describe 2D and 3D shapes and how they fit together
Fractions
- Use halving in real-life routines (e.g. cut in half, fold in half)
Statistics
- Interpret simple tables and graphs (e.g. tally charts, pictograms)
