This Year 2 Numbers to 20 Skill Builder Outline resource provides a clear, structured sequence of scaffolds to develop pupils’ understanding of numbers to 20 through adaptive teaching.

It highlights common misconceptions, enabling teachers to quickly identify each pupil’s starting point within the lesson. Scaffolds can then be introduced, adjusted, or revisited as pupils’ understanding grows.

The outline also includes practical, in-the-moment teaching strategies to complement the additional scaffolds, helping pupils build confidence and secure key number concepts.
