Using the spat chart:
- Count forwards from a given number, by tens e.g. 7,17,27.......
- Count backwards from a given number, by tens e.g. 98, 88,78........
- Count forwards from a given number, by fives e.g. 2,7,12,17,22........
- Count backwards from a given number, by fives e.g. 94, 89, 84, 79.......
- Now, count over the hundred from a given number by tens forwards and backwards 387, 397, 407 to 1000.
