Units
Unit 1
Numbers to 20
Counting, ordering and comparing numbers to 20, and seeing teen numbers as 1 ten and some ones.
Learning outcome: 1.N.1, 1.N.4, 1.N.5, 1.N.8 · counting, representing and comparing numbers to 20, and one more and one less
Unit 2
Make 10
Finding pairs that make 10 (like 6 + 4) with ten frames, fingers and stories. Making 10 is a key strategy for adding.
Learning outcome: 1.N.9, 1.N.10 · addition and subtraction facts to 10 and making 10
Unit 3
Adding
Adding to 20 with pictures, ten frames, number lines and short stories, using strategies like counting on, doubles and making 10.
Learning outcome: 1.N.9, 1.N.10 · addition facts to 20 with counting on and doubles
Unit 4
Take Away
Subtracting within 20 by counting back and thinking addition, and solving short take-away and compare stories.
Learning outcome: 1.N.9, 1.N.10 · subtraction facts to 20 as the opposite of addition
Unit 5
Equal or Not
Learning that = means "the same amount as" (not just "the answer is"), and using ≠ when two sides are different.
Learning outcome: 1.PR.3, 1.PR.4 · equality as a balance, and recording equalities with the equal symbol
Unit 6
Patterns
Finding the repeating part (the core) of patterns like AB, ABB and ABBC, including patterns where colour and shape both change.
Learning outcome: 1.PR.1, 1.PR.2 · repeating patterns, and translating them from one form to another
Unit 7
Measuring
Measuring length with paper clips and cubes, comparing longer and shorter, heavier and lighter, and seeing why same-size units matter.
Learning outcome: 1.SS.1 · measurement as comparing attributes of objects
Unit 8
Shapes
Naming and comparing 2D shapes by their sides and corners, and 3D objects by their faces and whether they roll or stack.
Learning outcome: 1.SS.2, 1.SS.3, 1.SS.4 · sorting and building 2-D shapes and 3-D objects
