Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from any starting point (ACMNA001) © Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority 2012

RELATED TERMS

TEACHER INFORMATION What this means

Counting To name or list the units of a group or collection one by one in order to determine a total; to recite numerals in order Counting on

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Counting a collection or reciting numbers from a certain starting point Pattern

An arrangement of things (numbers, shapes, etc.) in which all the things are related by a specific rule

Teaching points

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Students become confident in using the language of counting, and understand that other cultures have other counting words. This does not mean they simply recite the number names in order. They can recite the number sequence forwards and backwards, from any starting number up to 20. A student who is fluent in using the counting sequence can provide the missing number in a sequence of numbers by using his/her knowledge of the 1 to 9 and decade patterns in the number sequence.

• Students need to know the number sequence in the correct order to 20. • Practise adding emphasis at different points during recitation of the counting sequence (e.g. every second number, every third) to move students away from reliance on reciting numbers as one long sentence in a sing-song fashion. • Students need to practise counting forwards and backwards from different starting points, initially by providing the next number in a spoken sequence. • Students then continue to provide more of the sequence themselves with limited teacher modeling; e.g. ‘What number comes after 18?’

m . u

w ww

. te

• Students who need to count from one, either aloud or under their breath, in order to find the number before or number after a given number. • Students who experience confusion with the terms ‘before’ and ‘after’.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES Clothes line (page 12) • Obtain small wooden pegs and a doll’s clothes line (or attach thin string or rope across two fixed items in the classroom). Enlarge, cut out and laminate the clothing items on page 12 and put them into a small basket. The students peg a certain number of the clothing items in the correct numerical sequence onto the clothes line, going forwards or backwards from different starting points. Teachers could also put a ‘middle’ number up, and have the students place the correct sequential numbers on both sides of that number.

Counting rhymes

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• Use rhymes (such as those on pages 9 and 10) to practise reciting number sequences forwards and backwards.

Lolly Land (page 14)

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

• Practise counting aloud using this board game, starting at any point and moving forwards or backwards. Use a foursided dice and counters to practise moving along the board. Encourage students to say the name of the number they land on.

Read my mind

• The teacher or a student chooses a number between 0 and 10 without telling the other students. Allow one student at a time to try to ‘read your mind’ (guess which number you chose). If the answer is correct, the student wins. If not, another student tries to guess. Keep track of the incorrect answers given by recording them on a board. Increase or decrease the numbers according to ability level. Give clues such as ‘It’s before/after five.’

Number sticks

• Write numerals on large craft sticks (tongue depressors); the students can write the numerals if able. Jumble the sticks and let the students put them back in order.

Recite

m . u

• Talk about the page numbers in a book and how they can help us to find the information we want. Also discuss other examples of where numbers are sequenced in order, such as on houses, to be used as a tool/guide. Discuss numbers written on the uniforms of a sports team or the numbers of a bus route and why they might not be in order.

w ww

• Recite numbers in sequence from different starting points. Emphasise the ‘important’ numbers of that sequence; e.g. emphasising 10, 20 with a slight pause after 20 if exploring tens. Ask questions such as ‘What part of the first ten numbers sound the same as the twenties?’. • As the students count to ten, coordinate body actions (such as clapping, clicking or stamping) with each number as it is counted. When ten is reached, continue counting on but repeat the patterns from one again (so students can begin to understand the patterns in the way numbers are recited verbally).

What’s next?

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Hold up a number card, or say a number. The students tell you which number comes before (or after) that number.

Number hunt

• Hide number cards (see pages 25 and 27) around the classroom. The students hunt for the cards, and as a student finds one, he or she tells you which number was found. When all have been found, the class places them in order.

Number grids • Give each student a number grid (page 15). Starting from different numbers each time, the class counts out aloud, putting a finger on each numeral as it’s recited. They could use a counter or other object to move along the grid. Ask questions such as ‘What is the number before 19?’.

Line up • With the students standing in a line, students say in turn the next number in the counting sequence. Start at different numbers.

LINKS TO OTHER CURRICULUM AREAS English • Sing songs or rhymes such as ‘Alice the camel’, ‘Five currant buns in a baker’s shop’, ‘Five fat sausages sizzling in a pan’, ‘Five little speckled frogs’ and ‘Ten little Indians’ or ‘This old man’. (See pages 9 and 10.) • Read books about counting in order, such as Counting on Calico by Phyllis Tildes, Ten cats have hats by Jean Marzollo, Ten little ladybirds by Melanie Gerth, Ten in the bed by Penny Dale, Nine ducks nine by Sarah Hayes. • Obtain and read books about counting that include concepts or languages from other cultures, such as: An Australian 1, 2, 3 of Animals by Bronwyn Bancroft, Moja means one by Muriel Feelings (counting in Swahili), Anno’s counting book by Mitsumasa Anno, Counting on your fingers African style by Claudia Zaslavsky, The Token Gift by Hugh William McKibbon, My numbers = Mis numeros by Rebecca Emberley, Count on Pablo by Barbara deRubertis, Emeka’s gift: an African counting story by Ifeoma Onyefulu, Knots on a counting rope by Bill Martin and John Archembault. • Read Bananas for lunch at <http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/lunch.asp> (a counting story about a monkey).

Health and Physical Education

• Place rows of five or so hoops on the ground. Students take a number card from a pile, or are told a number. They say the number, then jump into the first hoop and say the number that follows that on their card, saying the number each time they jump into a hoop. Use numbers according to ability. Students can be asked to count forwards or backwards. • Place a number of hoops on the ground in a long waving line. Mark each hoop with a numeral in order. As the students leap from hoop to hoop, they say the number they land on. • Ask individual students to complete actions such as skipping with a rope, bouncing a ball, star jumps or hopping, while the rest of the class counts each action in unison. • Spread number cards out on the floor and play music. The students move around and when the music stops, they stand on a number. The teacher calls out a number, such as ‘the number before 19’ or ‘the number after 4’. The student standing on that number is ‘the winner’. Make sure each student has a turn with stopping on a number and says the number that comes before or after it. • Put students into groups of five. Give each team a small container with counters with the numbers 1–10 written on them in it. At the other end of the court, place an empty number line. Students choose a counter randomly from the container, run and place it in the right place on the line, then run back to tag the next person in line.

TEACHER INFORMATION What this means

Counting To name or list the units of a group or collection one by one in order to determine a total; to recite numerals in order

Students learn to count, and connect the different ‘languages’ of mathematics (number symbols, spoken number words and collections of things). They can do more than simply count a collection. They can add to or subtract from a collection by counting on without needing to recount the collection each time.

Counting on

Teaching points

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Quantity

The measurable, countable, or comparable property or aspect of a thing Cardinality

The last count in a set

• Students need to practise counting forwards while adding objects to a collection, recognising that adding one more in the collection results in the next number in the counting sequence, without needing to confirm by counting from one. • Similarly, students need to practise counting backwards while removing objects from a collection.

What to look for

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Counting a collection or reciting numbers from a certain starting point

• Students who insist on counting items from left to right, and believe counting items in a different order is ‘wrong’. • Students who lose track of which items have been counted, especially when not counting items in a line from left to right, and recount some items. • Students who recount the collection when asked for the result of the count (‘So, how many are there?’). • Students who need to recount the collection each time an item is added or taken away.

Each item to be counted in a collection is given a number name as it is counted

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES Drop and count • Put out a row of (initially) three to five cups or empty containers. Give the students a number of small items, such as marbles, counters, coins, nuts, buttons, shells or matchsticks. The students place them, one at a time, into the containers, counting the items as they are dropped. • Label the containers with numerals from 1 to 5, with one numeral for each container. Students drop the correct number of small blocks into each container as indicated by the number on the outside. As the students become proficient with the range of one to five, extend the activity to the numerals from one to ten.

Make a ladder

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• Give each student two craft sticks and a collection of matchsticks. They take a number card (see pages 25–26), read the number, then put that quantity of matchsticks between two craft sticks to make a ladder.

• From a deck, give each student a large playing card with a number on it (take out the picture cards). The students use small counters to match the number of items on the card. • Deal the cards among four students. They can play games such as ‘go fish’ and ‘snap’, to match the numbers.

Playing cards

Collections

• Give each student a small collection of counters or any other small items of interest and some paper or plastic plates. Call out a number. The students count out that number of items and put them one by one onto the plate. Students could make items from playdough. • Give students collections of objects and ask them how they can find out how many items they have. Demonstrate and practise different ways to count the items, such as putting them in a line to ensure each is counted only once. Move the objects into a different arrangement and ask ‘How many?’. Repeat with the same number of items in different arrangements so the students recognise that although the objects have moved the number is still the same.

Number strips (page 28)

Classroom things

. te

m . u

w ww

• Give students strips of different numbers of items in a row. Students count the items then choose the right numeral card (page 25) to show how many items are in the set.

• Glue a few numeral cards (page 25) onto a sheet of paper. Leave space underneath each number for students to collect objects from the classroom to match the numeral. Or ask the children to count items in the classroom—books on a shelf, pencils in a cup, chairs at a desk etc. Each time you count, discuss how the last word in the list of words spoken tells us how many there are.

Egg cartons

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Ask the students to put one object into each section of the egg carton, counting as they go, to develop 1 to 1 correspondence. Ask them to put (for example) four items into the egg carton in different spaces and discuss how the arrangement doesn’t affect how many items there are. • Number the bottom sections of a half-dozen egg carton from 1 to 6. Students read the numbers then fill each section with the correct number of items.

Birthday cakes • Supply cupcake papers, playdough, candles and birthday cards (with numbers on them). The students pick up a birthday card, read the number on it, then put that number of candles onto a cupcake they have made from dough.

Using pegs • Enlarge, cut and laminate the numbered clothing items (page 12). Give the students one of the clothing items and some small wooden pegs (available from craft shops). The students peg that number of small pegs onto the item of clothing. Australian Curriculum Mathematics resource book: Number and Algebra (Foundation)

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) Correct collections • Place a collection of small (culturally appropriate) objects in front of a small group of students. The students take a numbered playing card from a pile then collects that number of objects. Then the student sitting next to him/her checks the collection to see if the first student is correct.

Quantity, name and numeral puzzles • Copy the quantity, name and numeral cards from page 27 onto thick card and cut each into a distinct puzzle piece, dividing the name, numeral and quantities. Students reconnect the correct numerals, names and quantities.

Subitise small collections of objects (ACMNA003) © Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority 2012

TEACHER INFORMATION

RELATED TERMS

What this means

Placing objects in order according to an attribute (such as size or numerical value)

Subitising is the ability to recognise small collections without counting. Generally this ability includes quantities of up to six, or higher quantities in standard (e.g. dice) arrangements or patterns which encourage students to see smaller collections and combine them mentally to find the total. For example, students can calculate a total of seven from two dice showing a 2 and a 5 just by a glance rather than counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The students can subitise by holding the 5 in their head and then counting on 2. This fast processing helps students hold the two quantities together in memory and to compare them simultaneously. Students can use this ability to put collections in order of size and make judgments about which collection is bigger/ smaller.

Estimation

Teaching points

An approximate calculation of the number (or value, quantity) of things in a collection

• Students need many opportunities to recognise and match dot patterns in different arrangements. This means they (for example) see the number five in different arrangements before going onto the number six. • Link dot patterns to number magnitude by responding to dot patterns by counting out objects, counting movements (e.g. jumping) or moving along a track (e.g. number line). • Encourage students to see the parts within the whole of larger dot collections. For example, in a picture that has six scattered dots on it, have students recognise different arrangements, such as a group of 4 and a group of 2, or a group of 3 and group of 3. • Show students regular arrangements of items or dots, before covering some and reasoning about how many are covered.

m . u

• Students who are unable to subitise one, two or three dots, and respond incorrectly to prompting or need to count every time. • Students who are unable to see that you should start with the bigger number; for example, when they see 2 dots and 4 dots on a page (or two dice), they subitise the 2 and count on the 4 rather than subitising the 4 and counting on 2 (commutivity). This could be a predictor of more serious difficulties with mathematics.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES Spotty bugs (page 39) • To use the spotty bug game, each student will need a spotty bugs grid (with six bugs) and 21 counters (or copy the page, cut out and laminate each bug separately, and give each student six differently numbered bugs). Each student rolls a dice with dots (not numbers). They then say the number rolled without counting. If they can say the number immediately (without counting), they put that number of spots on the corresponding bug. • Teachers could also give students a cut-out set of bugs and ask them to put them in order (from fewest spots to the most spots) without counting. • Another game involves putting a selection of cut-out (and laminated) bug cards in front of a small group of students sitting in a circle. Give each student a flyswat. The teacher or a student calls out a number and the students try to be the first to swat the bug with the corresponding number or dots. • A small group of students sit in a circle, each with six separate spotty bugs in front of him/her. Roll a large dice with dots to six. The students ‘snap’ as quickly as possible the spotty bug that matches the spots on the rolled dice.

Concentration (page 40)

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

• Cut and laminate the dot and finger number cards. Lay the 12 cards out in front of a small group or pair of students. They take turns to turn over two cards at a time and try to find a matching pair. If they find a matching pair, they take and keep those two cards. The student with the most pairs at the end is the winner. Students could also make their own pairs of cards with groupings of one to six dots on them, and play matching games such as snap, fish or concentration. Teachers could substitute the domino/dice-style dot array cards for regular or irregular dot cards (see pages 41–42). These cards can be given to the students to arrange in order from 0 to 9 and back again. Or make multiple copies and divide between a pair of students. They turn one card over in front of them and they must try to snap the card with the most dots.

Paper plate flash cards • Use a circle stamp or dot stickers to create number (dot) patterns on paper plates, from one to six. Hold these plates up briefly (about two seconds) and ask the students to say how many there are as quickly as they can, without counting. As an individual activity, students can place counters over the dots on each plate.

w ww

Fast fingers

m . u

• Give each student a small collection of counters or other small objects such as shells, beans, coins, pebbles or buttons. Ask them to show some different ways of making arrangements with those items on a paper plate or sheet of paper. Ask the students to pick up or slide away small numbers of items without actually counting; e.g. ‘Pick up two shells’.

• Hold up two to ten fingers, alternating between showing all the fingers on one hand and some extra fingers on the second hand. The students say how many fingers are held up together. Ask the students to show, for example, six fingers in one way, then again in a different way.

Quick peek

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Put out counters (or other small items) on a table in a familiar dice pattern without the students seeing. Cover the items with an opaque cloth or box lid. Uncover the pattern for a short time, then cover again. Ask the students to tell you how many items there are, or they can recreate that pattern with their own collection of counters.

Dominoes

• Giving the students sets of dominoes to play with will increase their exposure to (and ability to subitise) amounts of items up to six.

TEACHER INFORMATION

RELATED TERMS

What this means

Collection A group of distinct objects

Comparison

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Looking at two or more things and considering their similarities and differences

Placing objects in order according to an attribute (such as size or numerical value)

Ordinal number

A number that tells the position of something in a list or in relation to other things or numbers

Teaching points

• Model and discuss the language of sequence, and how the language differs from, but is similar to, the counting numbers (e.g. ‘three’ vs ‘third’). • Give students opportunities to describe position (e.g. ‘What position is Sally in the line?’), and respond to questions (e.g. ‘Who is third?’) and directions (e.g. ‘Place the frog third on the log’) about position. • Use one-to-one matching to compare collections; e.g. matching eggs to eggcups, saucers to cups etc. • Construct and compare numbers in linear lengths (e.g. using interlocking cubes) and use the language of comparison related to numbers (longer, shorter, more, less). • Progress to comparing two collections of items and then sequencing three or more in order of size. Initially compare collections with identical items and then with different items, including where the larger set has smaller sized items.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

Ordering

• Students understand that numbers relate to quantity and not to other attributes (such as size). That is, they can say the collection of eight small bottle lids has more than the collection of seven large bottle lids. They understand that numbers can be used to describe the size of a collection, and also to order (first, second, third).

Student vocabulary

• Students who have difficulty with sequencing (1st, 2nd, 3rd), including using terms such as ‘before’ and ‘after’, days of the week etc. • Students who attend to other features of collections rather than number (especially the size of items). • Students approaching the end of the foundation phase who are unable to compare abstract numbers (e.g. 6 and 4)‚ despite many experiences counting small collections, ordering lengths and sequencing subitisable collections.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES Who has more? (page 49) • Initially ensure you teach the concepts of more and less with items that are of a similar size. For example, set out collections of toy cars in front of different students and the ask students to tell you who has more cars. This way, students will understand that ‘more’ relates to the number, not the size, of the objects. Group students into differentsized groups and ask which group has more people. Students collect leaves during an outdoor walk and count the leaves, asking pairs of students who has more and who has less. Then students group their leaf collections by other criteria; e.g. into which colour or kind of leaf there is more, less or the same amount of. Ask students to make a group of items (such as counters) that is the same amount as their group of leaves.

Ages and stages

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

• Divide a sheet of card into thirds. Write the three age groups that the students in your class could be. Each student places a piece of paper with his/her name on it into the correct section of the card, according to age. When a birthday occurs, the student can move his/her name into another age category. At the end of the school year, discuss which group has more or less students in it and give reasons for this.

Teac he r

Comparing collections (pages 51, 52 and 53)

ew i ev Pr

• Give the students a group of objects, such as coins from different currencies, shells, or even jewellery. Pairs of students make a small collection with certain features, such as the items are all small, all red, all have zigzags etc. The students compare their collections, discussing the sizes and features of the collections, and try to guess which feature all the items other students’ collections have.

Ordinal number activities

• Discuss who was first into the classroom that morning, … second, third etc. As the first 10 students enter the room, give them a ‘place’ card (see page 53). Once they are all in, ask them to put themselves in order in a line from first to tenth. • Talk about recent sporting events and discuss which team came first, second etc. in the league table. • Divide a strip of paper into six sections. Give the students a selection of small manipulatives, such as toy animals. Use to practise understanding of ordinal numbers as directed; ‘Put the lion in the first section’, ‘Put a fish in the third section’.

Balloons

• Open and sort a packet of balloons by colour. Use one-to-one correspondence to count the numbers of the different colours, then work out which colours there were more or fewer of.

More or less dice

Bean toss

. te

m . u

w ww

• Give each student two dice (with dots) and a sheet of paper divided into two lengthwise. Students roll the two dice. They collect counters for each number and compare the two collections to decide which is more. They write down the one that is greater in the first column and the number that is less in the next column, and write nothing if the numbers are the same.

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Paint dried lima beans two different colours (so that the two sides are coloured differently). Place ten beans in a cup. Students shake the beans and tip them onto a mat. They group, then count each colour to see how many beans landed on the (e.g. red) side and how many landed on the other to find out which colour there is the most, least or same number of.

Card games

• In pairs or small groups, give each student 10 numeral cards (page 25) or numbered playing cards. Each student takes a card from his/her pile of cards (face down) then places it on the table face up. The students in each group decide which card is the greater value. The student whose card is worth most gets to keep all the cards played. If the cards are all the same, they tie and each student keeps his or her own card.

Health and Physical Education

• Place hoops in a row parallel to the students, and supply different-coloured beanbags. Make a deck of cards with instructions to follow written on them, such as ‘Put the blue beanbag in the 1st hoop’. Students take an instruction card from the pile, read it aloud, then follow the instructions. • Discuss the kinds of foods you should eat more of (vegetables, fruit) and less of (sugar, fat). • Put students into groups of four, and in each number students from first to fourth. Give each group a hoop, which each student holds on to with one hand. All the groups of four move around slowly in a large circle. The teacher calls out an ordinal position, such as fourth, and all the fourthnumbered students must run around the large circle and get back to their hoop as fast as they can.

• Learn to sing ‘The twelve days of Christmas’. • After reading a book about monsters (such as The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson or Where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak), students can design and paint their own monsters. Students can compare monsters and say which monster has the most eyes, has more horns, the fewest legs etc.

Civics and Citizenship • After learning about bus drivers, line up seats and set up a pretend bus. Students (passengers) get on the bus and the bus driver tells them where to sit: in the first seat, the second seat etc. The passengers tell the bus driver where they want to get off the bus; e.g. at the third stop.

TEACHER INFORMATION

RELATED TERMS

What this means

A mathematical process, such as addition, in which one set of numbers is produced from another

• Students can solve number problems with physical objects by adding some and then taking some away. They may initially recount the resulting collection to find the amount‚ but should move to counting up as items are added and counting back as items are subtracted. At this age‚ students remain reliant on modelling problems with objects or pictures.

Addition

Teaching points

Operation

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

w ww

. te

Student vocabulary

• Students who have trouble ‘counting out’ items in story problems‚ as opposed to counting objects arranged in a line. • Students who have difficulty with understanding and using mathematical language (such as ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘went away’).

m . u

Splitting a number, collection or object into equal parts

Group

• Use children’s literature as a basis for modelling stories with small numbers that involve adding or taking away. Use toys, pictures or objects (e.g. counters) for modelling. • Model and solve problems that involve grouping (combining two or more groups to find the total; or when given a group‚ to find how much more is required to reach a given total) and changes to small collections (find the total after a given number is added/ taken away; or find how many have been added/taken away given the starting number and the total). • Have students make up simple number stories and number problems for their peers to solve. • Practise adding one or taking one away from a small collection and noticing the result (the number after/before in the counting sequence).

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES How many more? • Display two or three counters or other small objects. Ask the students how many more they would need to make a number (such as 8 or 10). Do a similar activity but roll a dice with dots. Ask the students how many more dots they would need to make a certain number.

Number stories • Give the students multiple opportunities to create number stories (see the number stories picture resource on page 62). Allow them to choose items and situations that interest them. Use words such as ‘There were two and then five more arrived’, ‘If there were five in the basket and I put in five more‚ how many were there altogether?’, ‘If I had three but ate one‚ how many were left?’‚ ‘There were two birds in the tree but one went away, how many were still on the tree?’ Allow the students to create the stories with objects, then draw them as pictures before using symbols. (See page 63.)

Magic beans

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Give each student 10 dried lima beans painted gold on one side and silver on the other. Toss them onto a table and then count how many of each colour there are. Record the results as an equation.

‘Take-away’ counter

• Put a number of counters on a table and count them. Ask the students to look away while you or a selected student removes some of the counters. Ask ‘How many counters did I take?’ Students count how many are left to work out how many were taken.

Number bonds with cubes

• Give the student a tower of 10 unifix™ cubes joined together. Ask them to break the tower into parts to find and record the different number combinations that make 10.

Dice or dominoes

• Students roll two dice and add the dots rolled. Similarly‚ students can take a double-sided domino and add the two sides, trying to find the highest number of dots in the domino set. Students could also do this with playing cards, the quantity and numeral cards (page 23) or the quantity, name and numeral cards (page 27). The students could make their own dot cards and put them together to make different numbers.

m . u

Jumper-line

w ww

• Introduce a number line (0–10) as a series of numbers to jump along in a line on the floor. Ask one student to take two jumps. Then ask the others how many more jumps he or she would need to do to reach five.

Fact families (Page 62)

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Give students a picture from page 62 and a set of counters (7–10), or copy and cut out the images that match the picture. Ask the students to make stories with the counters (or pictures) and then to show some different ways of making 7. For example, 6 penguins are on land and 1 is in water, then 5 on land and 2 in the water and so on‚ to make the number bonds.

Think board (page 63)

• The think board can be used to show a number problem in different ways. Students can display understanding of a story with real things (such as small plastic toys); for example: ‘There were three dinosaurs having a drink. Then two more came, so there were five’. They then draw a picture to show the story, followed by writing it as a problem with numbers and symbols (e.g. 3 + 2 = 5).

Five ball clowns (page 65) • Give students one clown picture each from page 65. Enlarge if desired and cut the dot cards, and place them in a pile face down. Students take turns to turn over two cards. If the dots on the two cards add up to five, they can put a counter on one of the clown’s juggling balls. If not they put the cards back into the pile.

Groups • Use the term ‘groups’ to describe a collection. Ask students to make groups of three students, four, five etc. Then ask them to make groups with manipulatives before allowing them to find groups of a certain number of pictures.

Sub-strand: Number and Place Value—N&PV – 5

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) Go fish • Make copies of number cards from 0 to 10 (such as those on page 23 with both numerals and pictures). Shuffle and deal the cards among students in groups of two to four. The students look through their cards and make pairs of cards that add up to 10. If they have a pair‚ they put them face up in front of them. If they don’t have a pair‚ they take turns to ask another student for a particular card to try to make 10. If that student has the card‚ she or he hands it over. The student with the most pairs at the end of the game is the winner.

Dominoes

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Use the dominoes on page 66 to add and subtract in a variety of ways: – Pick up a domino. Place it so the bigger number (more dots) is on the left‚ then count on from that number to find out how many dots are on the domino. Similarly, do subtraction using the dominoes, taking the smaller number of dots away from the bigger number. – Place a number of dominoes in front of a small group of students. The dots on these dominoes should add up to two set numbers, such as 6 or 7. One students chooses one of the dominoes without telling the others which one they selected, saying only the number of dots on the domino. The other students take turns to guess which domino the student chose. – Give students a number line from 1 to 10. For each number on the line‚ they find a domino with dots that add up to that number. When playing this game, encourage the students to subitise and count on from the larger number, rather than counting all the dots each time. – The teacher or one student chooses and shows a domino to a small group of students. They must then find a domino from a collection in front of them that has one more dot. Repeat, but instead finding a domino with one less dot.

Sharing stories

• Give each student a small paper plate and demonstrate sharing a number of items‚ such as dried pasta or biscuits. Demonstrate giving one to each person before giving a second to each. Discuss what might happen when there are pieces ‘left over’. • Make multiple copies of page 64. Give the children two or more large pictures (such as the dogs, koalas or the train engines) and ask them to share the smaller items among the larger ones (such as sharing the puppies among three dogs, sharing the gumleaves among four koalas). • Allow the students to share manipulatives equally among clearly identified areas; for example, put plastic toy animals into the carriages of a train, dolls into the rooms of a doll’s house, plastic frogs onto cut-outs of lily pads.

m . u

Make a campfire

w ww

• Pairs of children are given two cards with a number of pictures or dots on them. The students add the dots together then collect matchsticks or craft sticks that equal the total and use that number of sticks to construct a pretend campfire.

Divided plates

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Use divided plates for addition and subtraction stories, or to demonstrate sharing. For addition, put manipulatives in both small sections (5 + 3). Move all of them down to the larger bottom section to show the sum. For subtraction, begin with all of the manipulatives in the large section and then remove some to the smaller section to find out how many are left.

How many frogs jumped? (page 69)

• Working in pairs, the 10 frogs are placed onto one lily pad. One student closes his or her eyes while the other moves a number of frogs from one lily pad to the other, then covers the second pond with a sheet of thick paper. The other student works out how many frogs jumped over.

Information and Communication Technology

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

• Use an interactive whiteboard to demonstrate moving pictures of items away from or into a collection, or to share items. Allow the students to move pictures across the board. • Play games such as adding the dots on ladybirds at <http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/laac/numbers/ch1.shtml>, one or two more or less at < http://www.kenttrustweb.org.uk/kentict/content/games/giraffe_v5.html>, and adding spots on a ladybird at <http://www.kenttrustweb.org.uk/kentict/content/games/ladyBirdSpots/index.html>.

Health and Physical Education

• Draw a large shape such as a circle or target on the floor with chalk. Divide the shape into different sections‚ then draw a different number of dots in each section. Students take turns to throw two beanbags into the shape, then add the number of dots their bean bags landed on. • Play ten pin bowling. Each time a student knocks some pins down, he/she counts how many were knocked over and says it as a sentence: ‘There were ten pins and three were knocked over‚ so there are seven left’.

w ww

• Try subtractive monoprinting where students ‘take away’ paint. Spread paint evenly on a flat surface such as a tabletop. Students use a finger or tool to remove paint to make a picture, then place a sheet of paper over the picture to take a print. • Experiment with combining (adding) different coloured poster paints.

The Arts

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Use things found in the natural environment (such as sticks, shells, gumnuts or leaves) to make collections, and add or take away from those collections. For example, get students to form pairs and combine their collections, then two sets of pairs combine and add the collections and so on. Similarly‚ share a collection of such objects among groups of students. • Discuss how there is a limited supply of fresh water on Earth and the need to share it fairly.

RESOURCE SHEET Strategies for adding and subtracting Combining two groups to find the total • Count all the items in both groups to find how many there are altogether.

Counting on • Count one set of items. Then add another set, counting on without having to recount the first (unchanged) set. For example, place five items into a cloth bag, counting as each is placed. Ask how many objects there are in the bag. Place‚ two more objects into the bag‚ counting each. Ask how many objects there are in the bag now, using counting on to find the answer.

Partitioning

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

• Learn to separate (partition) a given number of objects into two groups. Practise by throwing a set number of beanbags at a target and talking about how many landed in the target and how many missed, or separating all the dominoes with the same number of dots to form a new group. • Other examples include: – exploring different combinations of how one lot of 10 (for example) toy monkeys and 10 toy elephants can be placed in a ‘zoo enclosure’ that can hold only 10 animals in total – making towers 10 blocks high using two different sets of coloured blocks.

Teac he r

Sub-strand: Number and Place Value—N&PV – 5

Adding doubles

• Students learn basic facts such as 5 and 5 makes 10. A student can use doubling as a strategy for adding; for example, given a sum of 6 and 5, he/she might say 5 and 5 is 10, and one more is 11.

Taking away

• Subtract a number of items from a set and count how many are left.

Counting backwards

• Take a smaller number of items from a larger set and find how many are left by counting back from the larger number. For example, say there are five children at the table and two leave; how many are still at the table? (from 5, count back 2: 5 – 1 = 4‚ 4 – 1 = 3)

m . u

• Find out how many items have been removed from a larger group of objects by counting forwards to the larger number. For example, if 10 biscuits were on a plate but now there are only 4‚ find out how many were taken by counting forward from 4 to 10.

• Discuss the similarities and differences among objects. Seek out and discuss and/or record things with particular attributes; e.g. long things, round things, yellow things. • Have students follow a given rule for sorting objects. • Sort items into groups and have students determine the rule used for sorting. • Have students create their own rules for sorting. Sort common items (e.g. buttons, bottle caps or tops) in different ways. • Draw attention to patterns in nature (e.g. shells, leaves, butterfly markings, petals on flowers, spiderwebs). Copy them and have students create their own. • Have students (a) copy patterns, (b) provide the next element in a repeating pattern, and then (c) create their own patterns with movements, sounds and objects. • Describe patterns in abstract ways; e.g. labelling the first element ‘A’‚ the second ‘B’ and so on. Express the same pattern in different ways (e.g. an AAB pattern with stamps and claps, and then with red and blue blocks).

To put objects into groups based on some property they have in common Pattern

Students are able to recognise, describe and continue patterns of many kinds. This could include talking about the vein patterns on a leaf or the spiral pattern on a snail’s shell. They can join in with and provide the next element in a pattern of movements (e.g. jump, jump, clap); sounds (e.g. high note, low note); or colours (e.g. three yellow blocks and one red block). They can notice similarities and differences among things and group them according to these characteristics (e.g. colour, size, function).

• Students who lack the vocabulary to describe objects. • Students who can copy a pattern but are unable to extend or create one.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES For sorting and classifying familiar objects Things to collect for classifying and patterning: • These can include: shells, buttons, coins (different currencies‚ if possible), feathers, leaves from different plants, strips or pieces of fabric with distinct patterns, wrapping paper with a repetitive pattern, cupcake papers, matchsticks and craft sticks, craft pom-poms, Unifix™ cubes, pattern blocks, rubber stamps, bear family counters, bottle tops, plastic jewellery and beads, coloured dry pasta‚ and small pebbles.

Guess my collection • Place a collection of objects, such as those listed above, in the centre of a small group of students sitting in a circle. One student makes a small collection (about 4 to 5 items) with one common feature, such as the items are all small, all red, all have zigzags etc. The others in the group must try to guess which characteristic all the items have in common.

Copy mine

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

• Give each student in a small group (sitting in a circle) a collection of items. One student takes one of his/her items and places it in the centre of the group. The others find an item in their collection that is similar in some way and place it in the centre too. Discuss how the secondary items are similar to and different from the initial object.

Matching games

• Play matching games such as concentration, go fish, bingo and dominoes to help students compare two items and find similarities between them.

My team

• Students work in pairs. One student makes a small collection of buttons (or other such items) using a ‘secret’ classification rule. The student keeps all the buttons hidden from the partner. He or she takes one of the selected items, places it so the other student can see it and says‚ ‘This is on my team’. He or she then puts an item that is not part of the collection out and says‚ ‘This is not on my team’. The other student tries to guess the classification rule by taking items from a central collection and asking ‘Is this on your team?’ until the rule is identified.

• Children can sort as they clean up. (The teacher can label shelves or toy boxes with pictures of the items that belong there.) Bring in clean socks and ask the children to find pairs of socks and put them together.

w ww

• Give the students a collection of coins or attribute blocks. Ask them to choose one item (coin or block) and describe it (in terms of its shape, colour and size). Then ask them to choose another item, choosing one that is different in some way from the first item. For example, if the first choice is a small gold coin, a large gold coin could be next. Then ask them to choose an item that is different in two ways, such as a different colour and shape.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES For copying, continuing and creating patterns with objects and drawings Making rows • Give the students a collection of counters or Unifix™ cubes in two different colours. Ask them to put the counters in a row. Discuss the ways they lay them out and any patterns that are shown. Model a repeating pattern for the other students to copy. Discuss how many items there are in each set that repeats.

Copy and continue patterns (page 82) • Copy the pattern strips onto card and laminate if desired. Cut (and laminate) the individual pattern items. Give the students one pattern strip and ask them to read it. Then give them the items and ask them to put them onto (or above/ under) the pattern strip in the correct pattern. They then try to continue the pattern.

Making patterns

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

• Ask the students to line up in different ways, such as boy–girl, light hair–dark hair, sit–stand, or with happy–sad faces. • Give the students strips or cardboard and some craft items to glue onto the card in a pattern. Limit the number of different kinds of items initially (so there are only two variables or attributes). For example, use red and blue craft sticks before moving onto more colours or different items such as craft sticks and pompoms. The students can make different patterns using the two different items and the different colours they come in. Encourage the students to read and describe their patterns.

• Copy the page onto card and cut each strip into three (lengthways). Mix the strips up‚ then let the students find the three patterns that are the same from a collection. Once they have found the three matching pattern strips‚ they can make that same pattern using different materials, or as a movement or sound pattern.

w ww

Movement patterns

m . u

• Give each student one of the pictures. The students identify and read the patterns they see, then recreate them with materials such as matchsticks or counters. They can record the patterns with numbers or letters.

• Children create patterns of movement with their body using claps, taps, pats, stomps and jumps. For example, an AB pattern could be ‘clap, pat, clap, pat’ or ‘stomp‚ hop‚ stomp‚ hop’.

Sound patterns

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Students make sound patterns with musical instruments. Give one group of students (for example) bells and give another group triangles. The students play in a pattern as directed by the teacher (such as bells, triangles, bells, triangles) for an AB pattern. You could also try making different sound patterns with animal noises, such as ‘Baaa, woof‚ woof’.

Patterns in numbers

• Play counting games where, for example, every second number is said loudly, or every third number is clapped. Colour number grids in a pattern, such as colouring all numbers ending with 2 red. Look at the classroom calendar and discuss the dates that the days fall on. Is there a pattern?

Is this pattern right? • Make a pattern with items‚ with one of the items included an obvious mistake from the rest. Ask the students to identify and ‘fix’ the problem for you.

Use the patterns to classify the leaves according to what type of tree they came from. • Examine different patterns used in certain styles of painting, such as Aboriginal dot painting or X-ray style. • Make prints with vegetables in certain patterns; for example to make wrapping paper. • Make sound patterns with different instruments and record the patterns on paper. • Give students two copies of the same picture and have them to paint or decorate the pictures in different ways to make them look different.
