Learning about Numerals

• Sort and classify objects by a single attribute ( size, shape, color, texture, orientation and position) and describe the reason for the action
• Recognize, copy, extend and create simple auditory and physical patterns using a variety of materials in different contexts

Numerical and Proportional Reasoning:

• Count and identify the number of objects in a set

Geometry and Measurement:

• Identify and sort simple shapes such as square, rectangle, triangle, and circle and solids such as cube, cylinder, sphere, and prism
• Uses positional language – e.g. under, over, inside, next, near, in front – to describe position and order
• Describe time periods or a sequence of events using terms such as morning, afternoon and night or yesterday, today and tomorrow
• Sort, estimate and order by length or area using comparative language such as more, longer, shorter, taller or bigger to describe relationships

Working with Data:

• Make comparisons from information displayed in real graphs

27.  Classifies Objects

28.  Compares/measures

30.  Recognizes patterns and can repeat them

31.  Shows awareness of time concepts and sequence

32.  Shows awareness of position in space

33. Uses one-to-one correspondence

34.  Uses numbering and counting
