One-to-one correspondence
Being able to match one object to one other object or person. Children need to learn one-to-one correspondence in order to be able to count.
This can be practised in a number of different play situations, such as laying the table, or setting out a tea party. For example, each person at the table needs ‘one’ cup.

SATs stands for Standard Assessment Tasks. These are national tests in spelling, punctuation, and grammar, as well as reading and maths, taken by children at the end of both Key Stage 1 (Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 6). Writing is assessed by the teacher.
