Pattern in number Investigate ‘parts’ and ‘wholes’ Explore the composition of numbers to 10 Investigate equivalence, doubles and making odd and even numbers

Deep understanding of numbers to 10 Continue to practically explore the composition of numbers to 10 Investigate 5 as a key ‘anchor’ in the number system Begin to generalise about 1 more/1 less within 10

Recall of number facts Recall the ‘numbers within’ 3, 4, 5 and 10 Recall double facts, up to ‘5 and 5 make 10’ Recall missing parts within 5
