Counting forwards and backwards (age 9+)

Count forwards and backwards in steps of powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000) for any given number up to 1,000,000

Lesson

Set out your lesson

Keep a constant power-of-ten step through a place-value boundary.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Ask what 100 more than 950 is. If regrouping is difficult, use the model first and record support.

Policy

Check learner readiness separately; the existence of a prerequisite lesson is not evidence of attainment.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes

Check learner readiness separately; the existence of a prerequisite lesson is not evidence of attainment.

Pencil and supplied blank sequence cards; no counter cutting. Say numbers aloud as well as writing them.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Teaching limits and safe use

These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.

  • Five starting values sample the range; they cannot establish counting from any number. Canonical exact examples in Guided are supported practice.

Record actual responses, assistance and access mode; never invent observations or infer mastery.
