Using calculators is a great way for children to explore numbers and patterns e.g. counting in steps to explore multiples. You can use the calculator on your phone if you don't have a calculator.

This grid contains the numbers from 1-100 and is a really good way to practise counting in steps.

Counting is a way of finding out how many objects are in a group, by saying the numbers in order. Counting in multiples is where we count in steps other than 1 which helps to count larger amounts more efficiently and quickly. We can count forwards or backwards and we can start from any numbers.

A great way to practise counting in multiples is to add it to your daily routine e.g. as you go upstairs to take your child to bed or as you walk to school.
