Development Matters and Early Learning Goal Links:

Recite numbers past 5.
Say one number for each item in order: 1,2,3,4,5.
Know that the last number reached when counting a small set of objects tells you how many there are in total (‘cardinal principle’).
Link numerals and amounts: for example, showing the right number of objects to match the numeral, up to 5.
Experiment with their own symbols and marks as well as numerals.

Children in Reception
Count objects, actions and sounds.
Link the number symbol (numeral) with its cardinal number value.
