1. Patterns, Algebra, and Functional Reasoning · Recognize, describe, extend, and create patterns.
- Patterns & Sequences: Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
2. Patterns, Algebra, and Functional Reasoning · Develop an understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems.
- Representing Addition and Subtraction: Represent addition and subtraction using objects, drawings, and mental images
- Addition and subtraction word problems: Solve addition and subtraction word problems within 10 using objects or drawings
- Finding a missing number in addition: Understand subtraction as finding an unknown addend (e.g. 10 − 8 = ? is the same as 8 + ? = 10)
- Numbers up to 10 into pairs: Decompose numbers up to 10 into pairs in more than one way (part-part-whole)
3. Numerical Reasoning · Demonstrate the ability to compare quantities of objects and numerals representing quantities of objects.
- 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
4. Numerical Reasoning · Demonstrate and explain the relationship between numbers and quantities.Count forward by ones and tens to 100 and backward from 10 by ones.
- 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)
- Counting forwards and backwards (age 6+): Count forwards and backwards in tens from any number (not just multiples of 10)
5. Numerical Reasoning · Represent multi-digit numbers in a variety of ways to build the foundation for place value understanding.
- Reading and writing numbers to 20: Read and write numerals from 0 to 20
- The teen numbers: Understand that the teen numbers (11–19) are composed of ten ones and some further ones (early place value)
- Representing Numbers: Identify, represent, and estimate numbers using different representations including the number line
6. Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning · Analyze, describe, and manipulate shapes to make sense of their relationships in mathematical and real-world situations.
- Positional Language: Describe the position of objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, next to
- 2-D shapes: Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)
7. Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning · Describe and compare objects in real-world situations using units of length, weight, money, and time.
- 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 & Heights: Compare two objects directly by length or height and describe the difference using language such as long, short, tall, longer, shorter, taller, double, half
8. Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning · Collect and organize data and communicate through multiple representations.Sort pictures or objects into at least two categories. Count to determine how
- Sorting Data into Categories: Organise and represent data with up to three categories by counting objects in each category and sorting categories by quantity
9. Mathematical Process Standards · Structure & Patterns
- Generalising Patterns: Recognise and use repeated reasoning to generalise: spot calculation patterns, describe rules for sequences, and predict results using known mathematical facts
10. Mathematical Process Standards · Analyze & Justify
- Explaining Mathematical Reasoning: With teacher prompting, explain and justify mathematical reasoning using drawings, number sentences, or words
11. Mathematical Process Standards · Connections
- Real-World to Maths Connections: Move between a real-world situation and a mathematical representation using concrete objects, drawings, diagrams, tables, number sentences, or bar models
12. Mathematical Process Standards · Representation & Communication
- Precise Maths Communication: Communicate with mathematical precision: use correct vocabulary, specify units, and use symbols accurately
13. Mathematical Process Standards · Problem Solving
- Making Sense of Problems: Make sense of a problem by identifying what is being asked, choosing concrete objects or pictures to represent the situation, and explaining a pathway to the solution
