Having established a good awareness of number patterns and number sequencing, the children liked the challenge of completing the 100 square jigsaw.

Then the children came up with their own challenges. They made number lines with the number tiles and challenged other children to cross the number line by correctly calling out the numbers as they travelled.

They also came up with the number writing challenge and they frequently challenged each other to see how many numbers they could write in the morning. Eventually they were writing their numbers quickly and they could write up to 100.
