Prior learning

You can use this checklist to review children's prior learning and help plan your teaching across the block.

Check that children can already:

  • talk about how they solve problems, using the vocabulary of addition and subtraction and number sentences to describe and record their work
  • count reliably at least 20 objects; estimate a number of objects that can be checked by counting
  • read and write numerals from 0 to 20, and order these numbers on a number line
  • say the number that is one more or less than any given number, and ten more or less than a multiple of ten
  • understand that addition can be done in any order and relate addition to counting
  • understand subtraction as 'take away' and counting back, and find a difference by counting up
  • recognise the value of coins.
