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 ValuePartition 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 SubtractionKnow 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
Number SequencesCount in 1s to 50, 10s to 100, 5s to 20 (forward/backward) Copy, make and continue repeating patterns
TimeTalk about time during the day Use language for days, months, seasons Read o’clock on analogue clocks
Measuring
2D Shapes
Position and Movement

Spring | Place ValuePartition 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 SubtractionRecall 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
Multiplication and DivisionUse 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 SequencesRecite numbers to 100 (forward/backward/from different points) Count in 2s to 20 Continue complex repeating patterns (shapes, sounds, movement)
TimeUse time language daily (days, months, seasons) Read o’clock on digital clocks
Measuring
3D ShapesName and recognise 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, cone, sphere) Begin comparing and sorting them
Position and Movement |
Summer | Place ValueUnderstand 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 SubtractionRecall 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
Multiplication and Division
Number SequencesCount 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
TimeUse time language daily (days, months, seasons) Match times to daily events (e.g. 3 o’clock = home time)
