1. Number and Algebra · Number Strand
- Fractions of a whole (age 8+): Express whole numbers as fractions (e.g. 3 = 3/1) and recognise fractions equivalent to whole numbers (e.g. 4/4 = 1, 6/1 = 6)
- Addition in any order: Understand and apply the commutative property of addition: addends can be added in any order
- Adding numbers: Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
- Numbers on a number line: Select and use appropriate tools and representations (number lines, hundred squares, rulers, part-whole models) to support problem-solving
2. Measures Shape and Space · Measures Strand
- 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 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
- 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
- Measuring mass and weight: Measure and begin to record mass/weight using non-standard and standard units
3. Measures Shape and Space · Shape and Space Strand
- 3-D shapes (age 5+): Analyse and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes using informal language to describe sides, vertices, and other attributes
- Types of angles: Identify acute and obtuse angles; compare and order angles up to two right angles by size
- Understanding angles: Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
- Properties of triangles and quadrilaterals: Derive and illustrate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles using appropriate language, including interior angles, diagonals, symmetry, and relationships between side lengths
4. Data Handling · Data Handling Strand
- Pictograms and tally charts: Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams, and simple tables
