Goal: National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023 (NCERT): Foundational Stage, curricular goals and competencies, Foundational Stage

## 1. Physical Development

- [Pitch of Sounds](https://ai.page/c/pitch-of-sounds/index.md): Find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it

## 2. Cognitive Development

- [Sorting & Categorising Words](https://ai.page/c/sorting-and-categorising-words/index.md): Sort common objects and words into categories to understand how concepts relate; demonstrate understanding of opposites (antonyms) for common verbs and adjectives
- [Simple tests and experiments](https://ai.page/c/simple-tests-and-experiments/index.md): Perform simple tests and use observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions
- [Sorting into categories](https://ai.page/c/sorting-into-categories/index.md): Classify objects into given categories, count the number in each category, and sort the categories by count
- [Spotting Patterns](https://ai.page/c/spotting-patterns/index.md): Spot patterns and recurring structures — in numbers, words, nature, sounds, or events — and use them to make sense of new information
- [Counting forwards and backwards (age 9+)](https://ai.page/c/counting-forwards-and-backwards-age-9/index.md): Count forwards and backwards in steps of powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000) for any given number up to 1,000,000
- [Decimal place value (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/decimal-place-value-age-8/index.md): Compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places
- [Fluent adding and subtracting within 100](https://ai.page/c/fluent-adding-and-subtracting-within-100/index.md): Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
- [Multiplication as repeated addition](https://ai.page/c/multiplication-as-repeated-addition/index.md): Understand multiplication as repeated addition and grouping equal sets
- [2-D shapes](https://ai.page/c/2-d-shapes/index.md): Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)
- [Measurable Attributes of Objects](https://ai.page/c/measurable-attributes-of-objects/index.md): Describe and identify measurable attributes of objects such as length, height, weight, and capacity; use comparative language (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more, less)
- [Telling time to the minute](https://ai.page/c/telling-time-to-the-minute/index.md): Measure and begin to record time in hours, minutes, and seconds

## 3. Language and Literacy Development

- [Reading fluently](https://ai.page/c/reading-fluently/index.md): Read aloud books matched to phonic ability accurately and with growing fluency; reread familiar texts to build confidence, speed, and expression
- [Narrative Writing](https://ai.page/c/narrative-writing/index.md): Write narratives with developed settings, characters and plot, using dialogue and description to develop experiences and show character responses to situations
- [Using New Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/using-new-vocabulary/index.md): Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, being read to, and responding to texts in own speech and writing
- [Syllables](https://ai.page/c/syllables/index.md): Count, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words; divide written words into syllables as an aid to reading and spelling
- [Understanding print](https://ai.page/c/understanding-print/index.md): Demonstrate understanding that print carries meaning, follows left-to-right top-to-bottom directionality, and is organised page by page in books
- [Knowing all letters](https://ai.page/c/knowing-all-letters/index.md): Recognise and name all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet; name the letters in order and use letter names to distinguish between alternative spellings
- [Characters, settings, and events](https://ai.page/c/characters-settings-and-events/index.md): Identify characters, settings, and major events in stories; become familiar with key stories, fairy tales, and traditional tales and retell them with key details in sequence

## 4. Aesthetic and Cultural Development

- [Growth Mindset](https://ai.page/c/growth-mindset/index.md): Understand the concept of a growth mindset — that abilities and intelligence can grow with effort, practice, and good strategies — as opposed to a fixed mindset where you believe you're either good at something or you're not
- [Similarities & Differences](https://ai.page/c/similarities-and-differences/index.md): Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting
- [Rules and agreements exist](https://ai.page/c/rules-and-agreements-exist/index.md): Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched
