Count backwards through zero to include negative numbers

Year 4Number & Place Value2 resources teach this

What this means, in plain words

Negative numbers are the numbers below zero, usually met first on a thermometer or a number line.

Counting here means saying the number names in order, forwards or backwards, and in steps larger than one.

Number work here is about how our number system is built, and about knowing what a number is worth rather than just how it is spelled.
