Year 1 Numbers to 20: Compare and represent intervention
Can they make 14… but not explain why it’s bigger than 12?
A targeted 10-minute Year 1 intervention for children who need support with number sense, teen-number structure, representation, magnitude and comparison to 20.
Numbers to 20: Represent & Compare is part of the Piece Together 10-Minute Maths Catch-Up series. It is designed for short, focused intervention with a teacher or TA, using a baseline assessment to identify the precise gap and route the child to the right starting point.
The six sessions develop:
recognising structured quantities and linking them to numerals
representing teen numbers as 10 and some more
connecting concrete, pictorial and symbolic representations
linking quantity and magnitude to position on a 0–20 number line
comparing numbers using more, fewer, less, greater, smaller and equal
ordering numbers and choosing a representation to justify thinking
The pack moves children from seeing and making quantities towards explaining and comparing numbers more independently, with explicit mathematical language throughout. The progression runs from structured recognition through teen-number structure, representation, magnitude and comparison.
