Units

  1. Unit 1

    Learning standard: Number concepts to 10

  2. Unit 2

    Make 5 and 10

    Using 5 and 10 as anchors (fingers, five and ten frames), finding how many more make 5 or 10, and breaking numbers into two parts.

    Learning standard: Ways to make 5; decomposition of numbers to 10

  3. Unit 3

    Learning standard: Change in quantity to 10, using concrete materials

  4. Unit 4

    More, Less, Same

    Comparing groups by matching them one to one, seeing equal as balanced and unequal as unbalanced on a scale, and reading simple picture graphs.

    Learning standard: Equality as a balance and inequality as an imbalance; concrete graphs, using one-to-one correspondence

  5. Unit 5

    Patterns

    Spotting the part that repeats in patterns like AB, AAB, ABB and ABC, then predicting what comes next or what is missing.

    Learning standard: Repeating patterns with two or three elements

  6. Unit 6

    Shapes & Sizes

    Naming flat shapes and solid objects by one feature (sides, corners, rolls or not), and comparing things by size, height, length, weight and how much they hold.

    Learning standard: Single attributes of 2D shapes and 3D objects; direct comparative measurement (e.g., linear, mass, capacity)

  7. Unit 7

    Coins

    Recognizing the nickel, dime, quarter, loonie and toonie by colour, size and picture (values come in Grade 1), and playing store.
