Step 3 Objective
Recognise and extend number sequences formed by counting from any number in steps of constant size, extending beyond zero when counting backwards.
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions
- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do
Count on and backwards, for example:
- From zero, count on in sixes, sevens, eights, and nines, to about 100.
- Count in 11s to 132, and then count backwards. Can you go past zero? What happens if you start at 133?
- Count in 25s to 1000, and then back.
- Count in steps of 0.1 to 5.0, and then back.
Recognise that counting in steps of constant size produces sequences of numbers that can be continued in either direction.
