The objective it teaches

Reason about the location of numbers to 20 within the linear number system

About this resource

Pupils should be introduced to the number line as a representation of the order and relative size of numbers. Pupils should: begin to develop the ability to mentally visualise a number line, with consecutive whole numbers equally spaced along it draw number lines, with consecutive whole numbers equally spaced along them identify or place numbers up to 20 on marked and unmarked number lines Pupils should use efficient strategies and appropriate reasoning, including working backwards from a multiple of 10, to identify or place numbers on marked number lines. Language focus example: “a is 5 because it is halfway between 0 and 10.” “b is 12 because it is 2 more than 10.” “c is 19 because it is one less than 20.”Read more

“Printed it at eight on a Sunday and taught it on the Monday.”

No editing, no reformatting, no hunting for the answers. The three levels are on separate pages, which sounds obvious until you have used the sites where they are not.

“Matches our White Rose planning almost week for week.”

I stopped adapting things from three different sites and now start here. The odd week does not line up exactly, but the small step it covers is always somewhere in the same block.

“The editable file is why we renewed.”

Being able to change two questions for the child who joined us in January, without rebuilding the whole sheet, is worth the subscription on its own.
