Pre-Entry Numeracy > Whole numbers > N1/M8.4

Compare two given numbers of objects in groups of up to five, communicating (a) which is more (b) which is less

Example: In sessions when carrying out surveys, learners put people into groups (e.g. male /female, those that prefer tea/coffee, those wearing red / no red) and say which group has more or less

Milestone 8 Number

A fabulous set of resources adapted from the Entry 1 Skills for Life materials at https://www.excellencegateway.org.uk/about/ Covers most N1 Milestone 8 curriculum elements. Created so that E1 and M8 students in a mixed ability class had similar materials to work from.
Judy stresses that this resource should not be used in isolation but alongside lots and lots of practical activities.
