1. Time: Duration is described and quantified by time. · Skills & Procedures

1. Comparing durations: Use comparative language for time: quicker, slower, earlier, later
2. Sequence intervals of time: Compare and sequence intervals of time

2. Patterns: Awareness of patterns supports problem solving in various situations. · Skills & Procedures

1. Patterns & Sequences: Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences

3. Measurement: Attributes such as length, area, volume, and angle are quantified by measurement. · Skills & Procedures

1. 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)

4. Geometry: Shapes are defined and related by geometric attributes. · Skills & Procedures

1. 2-D shapes: Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)
2. 3-D shapes (age 5+): Analyse and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes using informal language to describe sides, vertices, and other attributes
3. Edges, vertices, and faces: Identify and describe properties of 3-D shapes including the number of edges, vertices, and faces

5. Geometry: Shapes are defined and related by geometric attributes. · Understanding

1. Flat vs Solid Shapes: Distinguish two-dimensional (flat) shapes from three-dimensional (solid) shapes

6. Geometry: Shapes are defined and related by geometric attributes. · Knowledge

1. 3-D shapes: Recognise and name common 3-D shapes (cubes, cuboids, pyramids, spheres, cylinders, cones)

7. Number: Quantity is measured with numbers that enable counting, labelling, comparing, and operating. · Skills & Procedures

1. Comparing and ordering measurements: Compare and order lengths, mass, and capacity and record results using >, <, and =
2. Sorting into categories: Classify objects into given categories, count the number in each category, and sort the categories by count
3. One-to-one counting: One-to-one correspondence when counting objects: each object is paired with exactly one number name
4. Counting forwards and backwards: Count forwards and backwards in steps of 3 from 0

8. Number: Quantity is measured with numbers that enable counting, labelling, comparing, and operating. · Understanding

1. Division as equal sharing: Understand division as sharing equally into groups or as grouping (how many groups of a given size can be made)
2. Capacity and volume: Measure and begin to record capacity and volume using non-standard and standard units
3. How Many in Total?: Cardinality principle: the last number said when counting a set tells how many objects are in the set, regardless of arrangement or order counted

9. Number: Quantity is measured with numbers that enable counting, labelling, comparing, and operating. · Knowledge

1. Comparing Capacity: Compare and describe capacity and volume using language such as full, empty, more than, less than, half full
2. Comparing groups: more or fewer: Compare two groups of objects to determine which has more, fewer, or whether they are equal, using matching and counting strategies
