Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Recognise, represent and order numbers to at least 120 using physical and virtual materials, numerals, number lines and charts.

What this means

Developing an understanding of magnitude; which is bigger.

  • Recognise; students can read numbers (e.g. 72 as seventy two).
  • Represent; first use materials (sticks, blocks, etc.), grouping them in tens and ones. Students can answer questions like: “What numbers come before and after 29?” and “Which is bigger, 42 or 24?”
