Cambridge Primary
Long-term planning template
Ordering and structuring teaching
The schemes of work for Cambridge Primary at https://primary.cambridgeinternational.org provide suggested units in a possible teaching order. Below is
a template, which is partially complete with the suggested units from the schemes of work in red text.
Guidance for completing the template:
Additional columns can be added, cells can be merged or split.
Ensure all learning objectives are assigned to at least one unit across the year.
Where a learning objective is addressed in more than one unit, these learning objectives could be colour coded to signal they have previously been
featured.
Further guidance for long-term and medium-term is provided in the Teacher Guide.
The exemplar below shows Stage 1 Mathematics but the red text can be deleted or amended as necessary in order to create your own plan for your subject.

Number
Counting and sequences
1Nc.01 Count objects from 0 to 20, recognising
conservation of number and one-to-one
correspondence.
1Nc.02 Recognise the number of objects presented
in familiar patterns up to 10, without counting.
1Nc.03 Estimate the number of objects or people
(up to 20), and check by counting.
1Nc.04 Count on in ones, twos or tens, and count
back in ones and tens, starting from any number
(from 0 to 20).
1Nc.05 Understand even and odd numbers as
‘every other number’ when counting (from 0 to 20).
1Nc.06 Use familiar language to describe
sequences of objects.
Money
1Nm.01 Recognise money used in local currency.
Integers, powers and roots
1Ni.01 Recite, read and write number names and
whole numbers (from 0 to 20).
1Ni.02 Understand addition as:
- counting on
- combining two sets.
1Ni.03 Understand subtraction as:
- counting back
- take away
- difference.
1Ni.04 Recognise complements of 10.
1Ni.05 Estimate, add and subtract whole numbers
(where the answer is from 0 to 20).
1Ni.06 Know doubles up to double 10.
Place value, ordering and rounding
1Np.01 Understand that zero represents none of
something.
1Np.02 Compose, decompose and regroup
numbers from 10 to 20.
1Np.03 Understand the relative size of quantities to
compare and order numbers from 0 to 20.
1Np.04 Recognise and use the ordinal numbers
from 1st to 10th.
Fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion
1Nf.01 Understand that an object or shape can be
split into two equal parts or two unequal parts.
1Nf.02 Understand that a half can describe one of
two equal parts of a quantity or set of objects.
1Nf.03 Understand that a half can act as an
operator (whole number answers).
1Nf.04 Understand and visualise that halves can be
combined to make wholes.
Geometry and Measure
Time
1Gt.01 Use familiar language to describe units of
time.
1Gt.02 Know the days of the week and the months
of the year.
1Gt.03 Recognise time to the hour and half hour.
Geometrical reasoning, shapes and measurements
1Gg.01 Identify, describe and sort 2D shapes by
their characteristics or properties, including
reference to number of sides and whether the sides
are curved or straight.
1Gg.02 Use familiar language to describe length,
including long, longer, longest, thin, thinner,
thinnest, short, shorter, shortest, tall, taller and
tallest.
1Gg.03 Identify, describe and sort 3D shapes by
their properties, including reference to the number
of faces, edges and whether faces are flat or
curved.
1Gg.04 Use familiar language to describe mass,
including heavy, light, less and more.
1Gg.05 Use familiar language to describe capacity,
including full, empty, less and more.
1Gg.06 Differentiate between 2D and 3D shapes.
1Gg.07 Identify when a shape looks identical as it
rotates.
1Gg.08 Explore instruments that have numbered
scales, and select the most appropriate instrument
to measure length, mass, capacity and temperature.
Position and transformations
1Gp.01 Use familiar language to describe position
and direction.
Statistics and Probability
Statistics
1Ss.01 Answer non-statistical questions (categorical
data).
1Ss.02 Record, organise and represent categorical
data using:
- practical resources and drawings
- lists and tables
- Venn and Carroll diagrams
- block graphs and pictograms.
1Ss.03 Describe data, using familiar language
including reference to more, less, most or least to
answer non-statistical questions and discuss
conclusions.
