The principal focus in key stage 1 is to ensure that pupils develop confidence and mental fluency with whole numbers, counting and place value. At this stage, pupils develop their ability to recognise, describe, draw, compare and sort different shapes and use the related vocabulary. Teaching involves using a range of measures to describe and compare different quantities such as length, mass, capacity/volume, time and money.
