Make, compare and classify objects, identifying key features and explaining why these features make them suited to their uses
Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary
Make, compare and classify familiar shapes; recognise familiar shapes and objects in the environment, identifying the similarities and differences between them
Measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Sort, name and create familiar shapes; recognise and describe familiar shapes within objects in the environment, giving reasons
Sequence days of the week and times of the day including morning, lunchtime, afternoon and night time, and connect them to familiar events and actions
Identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning
Describe the features of three-dimensional objects
Name and order months and seasons
Compare masses of objects using balance scales
Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units
Recognise and classify familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using obvious features
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Sort, describe and name familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in the environment
Connect days of the week to familiar events and actions
Compare and order duration of events using everyday language of time
Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer, heavier or holds more, and explain reasoning in everyday language
