Practising Counting Forward to 100

Counting forward helps children connect number names, numerals and the order of numbers. Encourage children to notice what changes and what stays the same as they count.

Useful Practice

Start from a number other than 1 and count forward.

Pause at each multiple of 10 and say the next decade.

Write the numbers you say and check that none are missing.

Choose a starting number and predict the next five numbers before checking.

Home Tip

Practise during everyday routines such as counting steps, toys or objects. Ask children to explain how they know which number comes next.
