Achievement standard (what coverage means)
- •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.
- •They use subitising and counting strategies to quantify collections.
- •They describe the position and the location of themselves and objects in relation to other objects and people within a familiar space.
- •They sequence and connect familiar events to the time of day.
- •Students name, create and sort familiar shapes and give their reasoning.
- •They partition and combine collections up to 10 in different ways, representing these with numbers.
