Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from any starting point
• reading stories from other cultures featuring counting in sequence to assist students to recognise ways of counting in local languages and across cultures
• identifying the number words in sequence, backwards and forwards, and reasoning with the number sequences, establishing the language on which subsequent counting experiences can be built
• developing fluency with forwards and backwards counting in meaningful contexts, including stories and rhymes
• understanding that numbers are said in a particular order and there are patterns in the way we say them
• Students will practise counting numbers up to 10.
• Students are learning to count backwards through the one-less number concept.
