In Year 1, the primary focus is on ensuring that pupils develop confidence and fluency with whole numbers and the four operations. Pupils are introduced to number as quantity and as position on a number line, and begin to develop their understanding of place value to 20 and beyond. Physical manipulatives and visual representations are central to teaching in Year 1, in line with the concrete-pictorial-abstract approach.

Pupils develop their understanding of place value for numbers up to 20, learning to represent, partition, and order these numbers.
