In maths we will start our topic exploring place value to 10, learning how to sort and count numbers and objects. We will also be looking at how to count forwards and within numbers to 10 and recognising one more and one less.
We will move onto looking at how to recognise numbers as words and comparing groups of objects and numbers by using vocabulary such as greater than, less than and equal to.
