What's included in the Count Backwards within 10 Varied Fluency resource and why is it useful?

The questions on the Varied Fluency resource for Count Backwards within 10 cover identifying and representing numbers using objects and pictorial representations. The questions match the content in the Adult-Led Practical Activities resource, which is a teacher-led activity used as part of the main teaching input and includes questions that can be adapted to suit the needs of individual learners, helping you to meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child.

Varied Fluency

There are two are questions for children to complete.

• Q1: fill in missing numbers

• Q2: complete a number track and number sentences

How do our varied fluency resources work?

Our varied fluency resources work best alongside our teaching PowerPoints, which walk you through the whole lesson along with other lesson resources that you can find on our Count Backwards within 10 lesson page.

• After completing the main teaching of the Teaching PowerPoint (PPT), teachers assess whether children are ready to access their Varied Fluency worksheet or require support, which can be achieved through the Why not try... page of the Practical Activities resource.

• If children do not need further support, they can progress straight to a Varied Fluency worksheet or flexibly access learning through the Continuous Provision.

• The Varied Fluency worksheet can be accessed independently or with adult support.

• Across all Year 1 maths resources, challenge is provided through adult questioning and reasoning rather than levelled tasks, in line with mastery principles.
