    Number Facts

    It is vital that basic number facts are learnt and committed to memory to enable children to explore calculations efficiently.  These number facts will be practiced and developed at school and where you can please support fluent recall of these facts also.

    Work down the table below:

    Say numbers in order from 1-10 forwards

    Begin at one and count on in 1’s to 10

    Say numbers in order from 1-10 backwards

    Begin at 10 and count back in 1’s  to 1

    Count on from any given number between 1-10

    Start at 4 and count on to 9

    Start at 2 and count on 7

    Count back from any given number between 1-10

    Start at 9 and count back to 2

    Start at 5 and count back to 3

    Know number bonds of 5

    Fluently & rapidly recall and understand 2 numbers which add to the sum of 5

    0+5     1+4      2+3      3+2     4+1     5+0

    Know the associated subtraction facts for bonds of 5

    If    4 + 1 = 5     then  5 - 1 = 4     etc…..

    Know number bonds of 10

    Fluently & rapidly recall and understand 2 numbers which add to the sum of 10

    0+10   1+9    2+8    3+7   etc….

    Know the associated subtraction facts for bonds of 10

    If 4 + 6 = 10   then 10 - 4 = 6   etc…..

    Repeat the first 4 steps with numbers to 20

    Use knowledge of bonds of 10 to know bonds of 20 including associated subtraction facts.

    Repeat the first 4 steps with numbers to 100

    Read and spell numbers as words to 100

    1 - one    2-two  etc…

    Skip count in 2’s,  5’s and 10’s

    Count in 2’s to 20

    Count in 5’s to 100

    Count in 10’s to 100
