Rote counting to 100
Rote count forwards and backwards from 0 to 100, beginning from 0, 1, or any given number, by ones
Suggested ages 5–6
Learning journey
Your child is building essential counting skills — learning that numbers have meaning, that each number represents a specific quantity, and beginning to compare groups to see which has more or fewer objects.
Evidence of understanding
- Recite the number sequence 1–100 without skipping or repeating
- Count backward from 20 to 0
- Count forward starting from a number other than 1 (e.g. 'start at 23')
Assessment prompt
Can Rote counting to 100 count out loud all the way from 0 to 100 — and if you say "start from 47", can they carry on from there without going back to the beginning?
