  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

• VC2MFSP01

  sort, name and create familiar shapes; recognise and describe familiar shapes within objects in the environment, giving reasons

  Elaborations

  • sorting a collection of shapes into groups based on different features, such as the number of sides, colour or size, and describing how they have been sorted
  • creating a picture using a variety of shapes and a range of materials, including objects to trace around, describing the shapes they have created or used and sharing why they chose each shape in their picture
  • creating familiar shapes using groups of people; for example, holding hands and creating a circle
  • recognising and naming shapes that are (close to) rectangles, squares, triangles and circles in component parts of everyday items, for example, on bicycles, toy vehicles or kitchen pantry items

• VC2MFA01

  follow a short sequence of instructions; recognise, copy, continue and create repeating patterns represented in different ways

  Elaborations

  • carrying out a specified sequence of actions to move an object from one location to another
  • playing a simple rule-based game, moving a specified number of places according to the result on a dice in a chance-based game
  • recognising, copying and describing different repeating patterns using materials, shapes, sounds and movements during activities and play; for example, making a bead necklace and describing the pattern they have created, such as ‘red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green’, or copying repeating patterns of drumbeats or dance moves during music activities
  • recognising repeating patterns used at home and in daily activities to help make tasks easier or to solve problems; for example, setting the table to eat
  • recognising and describing repeating patterns that can be observed on Country/Place and in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork, cultural performances and material cultures, for example, shell and seed necklaces, dances and songs
