Year 1 Maths Spring Block 2 focuses on place value within 50, helping pupils develop their understanding of numbers beyond 20. Aligned with the Year 1 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils explore tens and ones, represent numbers to 50 and compare and order numbers.
Across the block, pupils count forwards and backwards within 50, find one more and one less, and use number lines and practical representations to develop secure place value understanding. Pupils also count in 2s and 5s, recognising patterns within the number sequence.
Spring Block 2 forms part of the Maths Masters Year 1 Spring sequence. Explore the full term to see how place value within 50 builds on earlier number learning and fits into the Year 1 maths progression.

Our Year 1 place value within 50 resources help pupils understand how numbers to 50 are made up of tens and ones. Pupils practise counting forwards and backwards, representing numbers in different ways and using their place value knowledge to compare and order numbers within 50.
The block includes Year 1 place value worksheets, teaching slides and practical activities for making tens, representing numbers to 50, finding one more and one less, comparing numbers and ordering numbers. Number lines, objects and pictorial representations help pupils connect numerals with quantities and develop a secure understanding of tens and ones.
Year 1 pupils learn to count, read and write numbers to 50, identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations, find one more and one less, and compare quantities and numbers. This block also develops counting in 2s and 5s, supporting pupils in recognising patterns in number sequences and preparing for later work with multiplication.
