Number > Counting
Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Quantify and compare collections to at least 20 using counting and explain or demonstrate reasoning.
What this means
Put a number to a collection and compare collections
- Language of comparing: using words like more, fewer and the same.
- Reasoning; for example, “6 is more than 4 because it goes further on the bead string” is an example of reasoning.
Tip
- Activity – Grab: In pairs, each student grabs one handful of objects and drops them on the table in front of them. After comparing the two collections each player makes the statement “I have more”, or “You have more”, or “We have the same.”
