DEVELOPING  A SENSE OF NUMBERNESS, COUNTING AND OPERATIONS OF NUMBERS 1 - 9 AND ZERO

•  Observes object and makes collections of objects.

•  Arranges the collection of objects in order by

–    Matching and

–    One to one correspondence

•  Counts the number of objects in a collection.

•  Makes collection of objects corresponding to a specific number.

•  Recognises and speaks numbers from 1 to 9.

• Uses numbers from 1 to 9 in counting and comparison. (Real objects and repeated events like clapping to be used for counting)

•  Reads and writes numerals from 1 to 9.

•  Adds and subtracts using real objects and pictures.

•  Adds and subtracts the numbers using symbols ‘+’

and ‘-’.

•  Approaches zero through the subtraction pattern (such as 3 – 1 = 2, 3 – 2 = 1, 3 – 3 = 0).

NUMBERS FROM (10 - 20)

•  Forms Number sequence from 10 to 20.
