By the end of the
foundation stage, most children will be able to:
-
say and use number names
in order in familiar contexts;
-
count reliably up to
10 everyday objects;
-
recognise numerals 1
to 9;
-
use language such as
'more' or 'less', 'greater' or 'smaller', 'heavier' or 'lighter', to compare
two numbers or quantities;
-
in practical activities
and discussion begin to use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting;
-
find one more or one
less than a number from 1 to 10;
-
begin to relate addition
to combining two groups of objects, and subtraction to 'taking away';
-
talk about, recognise
and recreate simple patterns;
-
use language such as
'circle' or 'bigger' to describe the shape and size of solids and flat
shapes;
-
use everyday words to
describe position;
-
use developing mathematical
ideas and methods to solve practical problems.
