Counting Stick - Numbers to 100

If you are really going to understand numbers you need to know how they are arranged on the number line.

The counting stick is a brilliant tool for this, because it doesn’t have any numbers on it! You have to imagine the numbers, so you get really good at knowing where everything is.

There are lots of ideas for different games here, including ‘Flying Lessons’ and ‘Night Time’.

There is also a guide for parents so that they can practise at home.
