Alfies story

• At the start of Numbers Count
• The initial detailed assessment at the start
  of his programme immediately highlighted gaps and
  misconceptions in his learning. For example, he
  could say which column in a two-digit number
  represented tens or units but he didnt
  understand what tens and units actually meant and
  how they fitted together. He was confident at
  counting to 100, but had no calculation
  strategies other than counting all. He quickly
  resorted to guessing when working beyond numbers
  to 10.

Alfies story

• After Numbers Count
• Alfie successfully uses the concepts learnt
  to achieve speedy and accurate recall in number
  calculations. He contributes in class, answering,
  explaining and confidently sharing his knowledge
  with adults and classmates. He is able to work
  independently, and is motivated and engaged by
  work which challenges him to think and apply his
  skills.
