Place value within 100 - Counting forwards and backwards within 100 - Worksheet

The educational resource from masterthecurriculum.co.uk provides a comprehensive worksheet designed to help Year 1 children master the concept of place value within 100. The worksheet focuses on counting forwards and backwards, with a series of exercises that encourage fluency and precision. The National Curriculum objective is to enable students to count to and across 100, both forwards and backwards, starting from any number. They should be able to count, read, and write numbers up to 100 in numerals and understand the concept of one more and one less. The activities include identifying and representing numbers through objects and pictorial representations like number lines, and using vocabulary such as 'equal to', 'more than', 'less than', 'most', and 'least'.

Students are provided with various tasks to reinforce their learning, such as filling in missing numbers on a number track and completing tens frames to represent specific numbers like 37. They are encouraged to think critically about the numbers and their order, with key questions like "How can you find out what the missing numbers are on a number track or a number line?" and "How many counters are there in 6 full tens frames?" The resource also includes reasoning and problem-solving activities, where students must identify mistakes in sequences of numbers and join stars in numerical order. These exercises are designed to deepen their understanding of number sequences and the relationship between numbers when counting forwards or backwards within 100.
