Counting Forwards to 10 – Foundation

Build secure early number order with a practical week-long Foundation unit for counting forwards from 0 to 10. Learners practise starting at zero and at other given numbers, saying one number for each count, finding the next number, completing number paths and matching numerals with quantities, ten-frames and number words.

The editable lesson presentation supports explicit whole-class teaching. Two colourful display pages provide a clear visual reference, while Step Along the Number Path and Race to 10 add movement, talk and playful repetition. Six print-friendly worksheets progress from counting sets to number words. A two-page assessment, eight matching resource answer pages, quiz answer slides and a five-level rubric support efficient checking and reporting.
