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.
