Demonstrate an understanding of repeating pattern (two or three elements) by: identifying, reproducing, extending, creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds, and actions. • Distinguish between repeating patterns and non-repeating sequences by identifying the part that repeats. • Copy a repeating pattern (e.g., actions, sound, colour, size, shape, or orientation) and describe the pattern. • Extend repeating patterns by two more repetitions. • Create a repeating pattern, using manipulatives, musical instruments, or actions and describe the pattern. • Identify and describe a repeating pattern in the classroom, the school, and outdoors (e.g., in a familiar song, in a nursery rhyme, in a game, on the street, on the playground).
Say the whole number sequence by 1s starting anywhere from 0 to 10 and from 10 to 0. • State the whole number that comes after a given number, zero to nine. • State the whole number that comes before a given number, one to ten. • Recite the whole number names from a given number to a stated number (forward - zero to ten, backward - ten to zero) using visual aids.
Recognize, at a glance, and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 5 objects, dots, or pictures. • Look briefly at a given familiar arrangement of 1 to 5 objects or dots, and identify the whole number that represents the number of objects or dots without counting. • Identify the whole number that represents an arrangement of objects, dots, or pictures on a five frame.
Relate a numeral, 0 to 10, to its respective quantity. • Construct or draw a set of objects corresponding to a given numeral. • Identify the number of objects in a set. • Hold up the appropriate number of fingers for a given numeral. • Match numerals with pictorial representations.
Represent the partitioning of whole numbers (1 to 10) concretely and pictorially. • Show a whole number in two parts, using fingers, counters or other objects and name the number of objects in each part. • Show a whole number in two parts, using pictures, and name the number of objects in each part.
Compare quantities, 0 to 10, using one-to-one correspondence. • Construct a set to show more than, fewer than, or as many objects as in a given set of objects. • Compare two sets through direct comparison, and describe the relationship between the sets using words such as: more, fewer, as many as, or the same number.
Use direct comparison to compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as length including height, mass, volume, capacity. • Compare the length or height of two objects and explain how they compare using the words shorter, longer, taller, or almost the same. • Compare the mass of two objects and explain how they compare using the words lighter, heavier, or almost the same. • Compare the volume of two objects or capacity of two containers and explain how they compare using the words less, more, bigger, smaller, or almost the same.
Sort 3-D objects using a single attribute. • Sort a set of familiar 3-D objects using a single attribute, such as size or shape, and explain the sorting rule. • Determine the difference between two pre-sorted sets by identifying the sorting rule used to sort each of them.
Build and describe 3-D objects. • Create a representation of a 3-D object using materials such as modelling clay and building blocks, and compare the representation to the original 3-D object. • Describe a 3-D object using words such as big, little, round, like a box, and like a can.
