Summer Block 1: Numbers to 20 and Beyond

In Summer Block 1, pupils will build on their understanding of numbers beyond 10, exploring number patterns and developing confidence in counting beyond 20.

Week 1: Numbers 10-20

• Build numbers 10-13 – Pupils will use objects, number frames, and counting strategies to build and understand numbers 10 to 13.
• Count using patterns within 13 – Pupils will explore how numbers relate to each other, recognising patterns within numbers up to 13.
• Build numbers 14-20 – Pupils will continue their learning by constructing and recognising numbers 14 to 20, using visual and hands-on methods.

Week 2: Counting Patterns

• Count using patterns within 20 – Pupils will identify number patterns within 20, reinforcing their understanding of number sequences.
• Count verbally beyond 20 – Pupils will practise saying numbers beyond 20, developing fluency in counting higher numbers.
• Recognise counting patterns beyond 20 – Pupils will begin to see patterns in the number system, helping them count and recognise numbers more efficiently.

This block builds a strong foundation for number recognition, fluency, and an understanding of counting sequences, supporting pupils in their mathematical development.
