8 units matched to the Prince Edward Island Curriculum. Kids see this subject as “Numbers”.
Learning focus
- Number Sense. count in a variety of ways.
- Patterns. demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements) by identifying, describing, copying, extending, and creating patterns.
- Measurement. compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as length (height), mass (weight), and volume (capacity).
- Geometry. sort 3-D objects using a single attribute.
Units
Unit 1
Count to 10
Counting objects one at a time, matching numbers to amounts, counting on and back, putting numbers in order, and knowing that nothing is zero.
Curriculum outcome: 1.1; 1.3; 1.4 · counting objects up to 10, counting on and back, and showing a set of a given number
Unit 2
Numbers to 20
Counting to 20 forward and back from any number, recognizing small groups at a glance, and comparing two numbers.
Curriculum outcome: 1.1; 1.6 · counting forward and backward from any number and comparing two numbers
Unit 3
Quick Look Counting
Practises seeing small amounts, 1 to 6, at a glance in familiar arrangements such as dice and dot patterns, without counting one by one. Ask your child to tell you how they saw it: “I saw 2 and 2.”
Curriculum outcome: 1.2 · seeing small amounts at a glance in dice and dot arrangements
Unit 4
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.
Curriculum outcome: 1.2; 1.5 · using fingers and five and ten frames to break numbers into two parts
Unit 5
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.
Curriculum outcome: 1.6 · comparing groups to tell which has more, fewer or the same
Unit 6
Patterns
Spotting the part that repeats in patterns like AB, AAB, ABB and ABC, then predicting what comes next or what is missing.
Curriculum outcome: 2.1 · spotting, extending and completing repeating patterns
Unit 7
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.
Curriculum outcome: 3.1; 4.1 · comparing objects by length, height, weight and capacity, and sorting shapes by one feature
Unit 8
Build with Blocks
Practises naming and describing 3-D objects (sphere, cube, cylinder, cone) by how they look and move, and choosing blocks to build with. At home, build a tower and talk about which block goes where and why.
Curriculum outcome: 4.1; 4.2 · describing and building with balls, boxes, cans and cones by how they look and move
