CONTENT STRANDS KEY CONCEPTS
NUMBER
AND
ALGEBRA
 Count forward in sequence to 100.
 Count backwards from 20.
 Understand that numbers are said in a particular order.
 Recognise patterns in numbers i.e. 1-9 sequence, teen and
decade sequence.
 Make collections up to 20.
 Start counting from any point.
 Use the strategy ‘counting on’.
 Participate in number rhymes and stories.
 Read numerals, identifies numerals and matches to quantities
0-20.
 Count each object once only.
 Recognise the arrangement does not affect how many there are in
a count.
 Can identify that the last number counted answers the “how
many?” question
 Count collections in a variety of ways i.e. placing objects into a
bag.
 Subitise collections to 6 both regular and irregular.
 Compare collections according to quantity i.e. ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘same
as’, ‘not the same as’.
 Order collections according to quantity i.e. ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘same as’,
’not the same as’.
 Know and use ordinal numbers to 5th.
 Model adding and sharing using a variety of practical strategies.
 Add and subtract small quantities.
 Change collections to make number bonds to 10.
 Sort and classify familiar objects and explain the basis for these
classifications.
 Copy and continue a pattern with objects, drawings, sounds and
movements.
 Create a pattern with objects, drawings, sounds and movements.
 Recognise patterns in the environment.
MEASUREMENT
AND
GEOMETRY
 Compare objects directly and identifies attributes of length, height,
weight and volume.
 Use language associated with measurement i.e. tall, taller, heavy,
and heavier, holds more, holds less.
 Compare and order events using the everyday language of time.
 Know and identify the days of the week.
 Link familiar events to specific days.
 Sequence familiar events, actions and family routines in time order.
 Name familiar 3D shapes.
 Sort and describe the attributes of familiar 3D shapes.

AND
GEOMETRY
 Describe position and movement i.e. in front, behind, next to,
under, on, in, between, forwards, backwards and towards.
 Follow and give simple directions to guide a friend around an
obstacle path.
STATISTICS
AND
PROBABILITY
 Answer yes or no to questions to collect information.
 Pose questions about themselves, events and familiar objects.
 Represent responses using simple displays, including grouping
students according to their answers.
 Use data displays to answer simple questions i.e. how many
students said yes to…
