Students are provided with opportunities to:

  • compare and describe the attributes of measurement
  • experiment with length
  • tell time.

Representing whole number – MAO-WM-01, MAE-RWN-01, MAE-RWN-02

  • Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
  • Recognise number patterns
  • Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
  • Connect counting and numerals to quantities

Combining and separating quantities – MAO-WM-01, MAE-CSQ-01, MAE-CSQ-02

  • Model additive relations and compare quantities
  • Identify part–whole relationships in numbers up to 10

Geometric measure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-GM-01, MAE-GM-02, MAE-GM-03

  • Length: Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer
  • Length: Create half a length
