Numbers 0 to 5 Foundation Unit

A complete Foundation Mathematics unit with editable teaching slides, games, printable worksheets, answers, assessment and a rubric for numbers 0 to 5.

Teach the foundations of early number with a coherent week of explicit instruction, hands-on practice, printable consolidation and assessment. Students learn to recognise and name the numerals 0 to 5, connect numerals with number words and quantities, understand zero as an empty collection, count objects once, subitise small groups and place numbers in order.

The editable 21-slide PowerPoint presentation develops each concept in a clear sequence and includes oral practice for counting forwards, counting backwards, before and after, and matching representations. The editable 22-slide quiz contains ten question-and-answer pairs for whole-class checking and discussion.
