Counting on with numbers up to ten is a key part of maths work in Year 1. Look out for children who are not confident with counting on; they may well go back to starting with zero, or one, rather than the number given.

As confidence grows children can be introduced to the language of ‘one more than’. They need to know that one more than is the next number, or the number after the one given to them.

We have just published three great new sets of pages which concentrate on ‘one more than’ including drawing one more than a given number, completing tables and problem solving. All well worth a visit.
