1. Statistics
- Pictograms and tally charts (age 6+): Read, write, and use the vocabulary of data collection and display — data, tally, tally chart, frequency, frequency table, survey, pictogram, bar chart, axis/axes, scale, label, category, discrete data, continuous data, line graph, pie chart — and apply these terms when collecting, organising, and presenting data
- Pictograms and tally charts: Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams, and simple tables
2. Space
- 2-D shapes: Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)
3. Measurement
- Days, Weeks, Months & Years: Recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months, and years
- Measuring with different units: Measure the length of an object using two different length units and describe how the measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen
- Comparing lengths by measuring: Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit
- Measurable Attributes of Objects: Describe and identify measurable attributes of objects such as length, height, weight, and capacity; use comparative language (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more, less)
- Comparing and ordering measurements: Compare and order lengths, mass, and capacity and record results using >, <, and =
4. Algebra
- Patterns & Sequences: Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
5. Number
- Using objects to model real problems: Use objects, drawings, or simple number sentences to represent a real-world situation (early mathematical modelling)
- Working with money: Model real-world problems involving measurement, money, and time by choosing appropriate representations and interpreting results in context
- Representing Addition and Subtraction: Represent addition and subtraction using objects, drawings, and mental images
- Addition and subtraction within 20: Add and subtract within 20 using strategies such as making ten, decomposing a number leading to ten, and using known facts
- Counting objects to 20: Count a set of objects to answer 'how many?' for sets up to 20 (arranged in lines, arrays, circles, or scattered)
- Adding numbers: Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
- Representing Numbers: Identify, represent, and estimate numbers using different representations including the number line
