Year 1 Maths: What number comes next? – up to 10

Introduction

Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about numbers. Specifically, we will find out what number comes next when we count. This is a fun part of maths, and I know you’re going to enjoy it!

Understanding Sequences

When we count, we say numbers in a certain order. For example, if I say 1, 2, 3, what’s next? Yes! It is 4!

Key Rules

1. Counting Upwards: When we count, we always move to a bigger number.
2. Starting from 1: We usually start counting from 1.
3. Stopping at 10: For today, we will stop at 10.

Tips and Tricks

• Use Your Fingers: You can always use your fingers to help you count!
• Count Aloud: Saying the numbers out loud can help you remember the order.
• Look for Patterns: Sometimes, numbers follow a pattern. For example, after 2, we always find 3!
