Stage: Foundation
Group: EYFS | KG (Reception | KG 2)
Topic: Number Sense
Focus Areas: Counting & Cardinality + Subitising
Method: Play & Learn (Activities + Games)
Strategy or Approach: CRA (Concrete Representational Abstract) or CPA (Concrete Pictorial Abstract)
Curricular Goal: Demonstrate fluency in counting concrete, discrete and abstract objects up to 10.
Learning Objectives:
→ Count objects with an understanding of cardinality (understanding that the last number you say
when counting a set of objects represents the total number of objects in that set).
[Progression: One-One correspondence + correct order → last number represents total no. of
objects.]
- Accurately count objects (concrete → representational → abstract) with understanding of
cardinality up to 5 → 10
→ Subitising
- Estimate or guess number of objects shown without counting them individually (up to 5)
