Achievement standard

What Foundation Maths students should achieve

Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Foundation Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:

  • By the end of Foundation Year, students make connections between number names, numerals and position in the sequence of numbers from zero to at least 20.
  • Students represent practical situations that involve quantifying, equal sharing, adding to and taking away from collections to at least 10.
  • Students collect, sort and compare data in response to questions in familiar contexts.
  • They copy and continue repeating patterns.
  • Students identify the attributes of mass, capacity, length and duration, and use direct comparison strategies to compare objects and events.
  • Students compare the size of collections to at least 20.

A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
