    Learning about Numerals

    Algebraic Reasoning: Patterns and Functions:
    • Sort and classify objects by a single attribute ( size, shape, color, texture, orientation and position) and describe the reason for the action
    • Recognize, copy, extend and create simple auditory and physical patterns using a variety of materials in different contexts

    Numerical and Proportional Reasoning:

    • Count and identify the number of objects in a set

    Geometry and Measurement:

    • Identify and sort simple shapes such as square, rectangle, triangle, and circle and solids such as cube, cylinder, sphere, and prism
    • Uses positional language – e.g. under, over, inside, next, near, in front – to describe position and order
    • Describe time periods or a sequence of events using terms such as morning, afternoon and night or yesterday, today and tomorrow
    • Sort, estimate and order by length or area using comparative language such as more, longer, shorter, taller or bigger to describe relationships

    Working with Data:

    • Make comparisons from information displayed in real graphs
