Outcome 1
Understand current national and organisational frameworks for mathematics.
1.2 Summarise the national curriculum framework for mathematics including age relate expectations of learners as relevent to the setting.
Foundation stage
Using and applying mathematics Counting and understanding numbers Knowing and using number facts Calculating
Use developing mathematical ideas and methods to solve practical problems
Match sets of objects to numerals that represent the number of objects
Sort objects, making choices and justifying decisions
Talk about, recognise and recreate simple patterns
Describe solutions to practical problems, drawing on experience, talking about their own ideas, methods and choices Say and use number names in order in familiar contexts
Know that numbers identify how many objects are in a set
Count reliably up to 10 everyday objects
Estimate how many objects they can see and check by counting
Count aloud in ones, twos, fives or tens
Use language such as ‘more’ or
‘less’ to compare two numbers
Use ordinal numbers in different contexts
Recognise numerals 1 to 9 Observe number relationships and patterns in the environment and use these to derive facts
Find one more or one less than a number from 1 to 10
Select two groups of objects to make a given total of objects Begin to relate addition to combining two groups of objects and subtraction to ‘taking away’
In practical activities and discussion begin to use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting
Count repeated groups of the same size
Share objects into equal groups and count how many in each group
Understanding shape Measuring Handling data
Use familiar objects and common shapes to create and recreate patterns and build models
Use language such as ‘circle’ or ‘bigger’ to describe the shape and size of solids and flat shapes
Use everyday words to describe position
