Students are provided opportunities to:

  • recognise 2 equal parts as halves of a collection, a measure, a shape or an object
  • find and describe the halfway point in a length
  • develop a shared understanding of symbols to efficiently communicate ideas.

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

  • Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
  • Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
  • Recognise number patterns
  • 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

Forming groups – MAO-WM-01, MAE-FG-01, MAE-FG-02

  • Investigate and form equal groups by sharing
  • Record grouping and sharing

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

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

Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01, MAE-2DS-02

  • 2D shapes: Represent shapes
