• VCMNA069

  Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from  any starting point

  Elaborations

  • reading stories from other cultures featuring counting in sequence to assist students to recognise ways of counting in local languages and across cultures
  • identifying the number words in sequence, backwards and forwards, and reasoning with the number sequences, establishing the language on which subsequent counting experiences can be built
  • developing fluency with forwards and backwards counting in meaningful contexts, including stories and rhymes
  • understanding that numbers are said in a particular order and there are patterns in the way we say them

• VCMNA071

  Subitise small collections of objects

  Elaborations

  • using subitising as the basis for ordering and comparing collections of numbers

• VCMNA070

  Connect number names, numerals and quantities, including zero, initially up to 10 and then beyond

  Elaborations

  • understanding that each object must be counted only once, that the arrangement of objects does not affect how many there are, and that the last number counted answers the ‘how many’ question
  • using scenarios to help students recognise that other cultures count in a variety of ways, such as by placing one pebble in a bag to represent one object. For example to count the number of cattle

  • understanding and using terms such as ‘first’ and ‘second’ to indicate ordinal position in a sequence.
  • using objects which are personally and culturally relevant to students
