Unit of work: read and write numbers in numerals and words

This Year 1 unit of maths work is for early on in Year 1. The learning journey focuses on learning to read and write the numbers 1 - 10 in numerals and words as well as counting to 30 forwards and backwards. These numbers are lower than the end of year (EOY) expectations for Year 1 but activities can easily be extended for more able pupils or if you are teaching this unit later in the year.

NC objectives covered:
• Count to and across 30 (EOY = 100), forward s and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1 or from any given number.
• Count, read and write numbers to 50 in numerals.
• Read and write numbers from 1-10 (EOY = 1-20)
