Place value within 10 - Counting forwards - Worksheet

The "Count Forwards" worksheet is a practical and engaging resource designed to help Year 6 students master the concept of counting forwards from any given number up to ten. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to count to ten forwards, starting from 0 or 1, or from any other given number. Additionally, students are expected to read and write these numbers in both numerals and words. To aid in this learning, various resources are provided, including physical objects like counters, cubes, and Lego, as well as number lines and differentiated worksheets. Teaching slides are also available to guide the lesson.

Throughout the lesson, students work on completing number sequences by identifying both consecutive and non-consecutive missing numbers, reinforcing their understanding of the sequence of numbers and the concept of zero. Key vocabulary such as 'count', 'sequence', 'bigger', 'greater', and 'smaller' is introduced. The worksheet activities are designed to support number recognition and help students become fluent in writing numbers in words. They range from providing a number track with words and numbers for counting forwards to more challenging tasks that require students to correct mistakes in number sequences without support. The lesson also includes reasoning and problem-solving exercises where students must identify and correct errors in sequences both in digits and words, further deepening their understanding of number order and place value within ten.
