Authentic Problems: Tea Party
Students plan a tea party for a small group. As they prepare, they connect number names, numerals and quantities using one-to-one correspondence.
Counting: Handfuls
Students take a handful of counters, count their handful, then find ways to organise their collection to make the total easier to count.
Number: One is a Snail
Students use the picture book 'One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab’ to explore how numbers can be represented in multiple ways.
Patterns in a Circle
Students explore colour patterns created with pom-poms in a circle. They look at how these patterns are similar and different.
Patterns: Attribute Trains
Students use sets of attribute blocks to create attribute trains. This builds students' ability to recognise similarities and differences between objects.
Statistics: Shoes
Students create a picture graph representing the shoes they wear to school, and use the graph to answer questions and make inferences.
Woolly Worms
Students devise strategies to order collections of ‘worms’, first using worms made from pieces of wool then using worms drawn in chalk.
Addition: Partitioning
Students explore all the possible ways to partition numbers into two parts.
Authentic Problems: Grandma’s Soup
Students estimate how many macaroni in a handful by various methods of skip counting and grouping strategies to get 100 macaroni for soup.
Authentic Problems: Target Ball
Students use progressively more sophisticated measurement strategies to find the best ball and where to place the target to play a game.
Place Value: Number Sorting
Students sort one-, two- and three-digit numbers based on the place value of the digits in the number.
Shape: Shadows
Students identify the two-dimensional shapes of shadows cast by three-dimensional objects.
Skip Counting: How Many Birds?
Students use efficient skip counting strategies to count a large number of birds in a picture.
Statistics: Planning Playgrounds
Students collect data on their favourite playground equipment and survey other classes. They design the ultimate playground.
Algebra: Equivalence
Students use a number balance to determine equivalent number expressions. They then use blocks on balance scales to identify equivalence without numbers.
