Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line

What this means, in plain words

A number line puts numbers in order along a line, evenly spaced, so larger and smaller can be seen rather than worked out.

Representing means showing the same maths another way, with objects, a picture or a bar model, so the structure becomes visible.

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.
