(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Say the first number once. For 12 + 4, start at 12 then say 13, 14, 15, 16.

In KS1 Maths, “counting on” helps children add without restarting at one. Pupils begin at the first number and make neat forward steps using fingers, counters, or jumps on a number line.

Key Terms

Count on: Start at a number and say the next numbers to add.
Number line: A line of numbers used to show steps forward or back.
Step: One jump to the next number, like moving from 12 to 13.

Warm up by playing the Addition Game to practise quick, confident “counting on”.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I teach counting on from a given number?

Show a number line, place a counter on the first number, then jump the second number of steps. Say each new number aloud to build fluency.

What is the difference between counting on and counting all?

Counting all starts at one and counts every object. Counting on starts at the first addend and only counts the extra amount, which is faster.

What resources help with counting on in Year 1?

Use number lines, bead strings, cubes, fingers, and tens frames. Keep steps small at first, then practise with larger jumps.
