What is covered in a lesson plan on counting?

Counting by Numbers

Students start by learning to count by ones and gradually progress to higher numbers. They learn to count in contexts such as number lines, objects, and everyday scenarios. By Year 5, students confidently count to and beyond 1000, understanding number sequences and their applications in practical situations.

Skip Counting

Beginning with skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, students use this technique to understand patterns in number sequences and to assist with efficient calculation methods. By Year 3, they are introduced to skip counting by larger multiples and primes. By Year 5, they skip count by complex numbers, aiding their understanding of multiplication, division, and factors.

Counting Backwards

Students initially learn to count backwards from 10 or 20, enhancing their understanding of subtraction and number order. As they progress, they count backwards from increasingly larger numbers and from any starting point. By Year 5, counting backwards integrates with more complex mathematical tasks, such as calculating differences and preparing for negative numbers.
