In this unit students will learn to:

  • notice, wonder, and ask questions about mathematical concepts around them
  • count collections of objects by organising them and paying attention to the structure of groups
  • combine and separate quantities
  • recognise and explain how a collection of objects has been sorted
  • describe two-dimensional spatial structures
  • organise information into simple data displays and interpret these displays.
Representing whole numbers – 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
Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01, MAE-2DS-02
