VC2MFN01

Name, represent and order numbers, including zero to at least 20, using physical and virtual materials and numerals <ul> <li>responding to a request to collect a quantity of objects or reading a numeral and selecting the associated quantity of items from a collection to match the number required; for example, collecting 9 paintbrushes after hearing the word ‘nine’</li> <li>recognising the order in the sequence of numbers to 20 and identifying the number that is ‘one less’ than a given number and the number that is ‘one more’; for example, playing instructive card games that involve reading and ordering number cards, or using counting songs, storybooks and rhymes to establish the forwards and backwards counting sequence of numbers in the context of active counting activities</li> <li>understanding and using terms to indicate ordinal position in a sequence; for example, filling in the missing term in ‘first’, ‘second’, ‘third’, … ‘fifth’ …, or creating a number track using cards with the numerals zero to 20 and describing positions using terms such as ‘first’, ‘last’, ‘before’, ‘after’ and ‘between’</li> <li>recognising, writing and reading numerals written on familiar objects; for example, recognising and reading numerals in images, text or illustrations in storybooks, or writing a numeral on a container as a label to show how many objects it contain</li> <li>connecting quantities to number names and numerals when reading and reciting stories and playing counting games or determining and reasoning about the size of sets of objects within Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ instructive games, for example, Segur etug from Mer Island in the Torres Strait region</li> </ul>

VC2MFN03

Quantify and compare collections to at least 20 using counting and explain or demonstrate reasoning <ul> <li>establishing the language and process of counting, and understanding that each object must be counted only once, that the arrangement of objects does not affect how many there are and that the last number counted answers the question of ‘How many?’; for example, saying numbers in sequence while playing and performing actions</li> <li>using counting to compare the size of 2 or more collections of like items to justify which collection contains more or fewer items</li> <li>using counting and one-to-one correspondence to quantify the number of items required for a purpose; for example, when asked to collect enough scissors for each member of their group to have a pair, counting each member and using the total count to know how many to collect</li> <li>discussing how different cultures may have alternative ways of representing the count; for example, discussing how some people of the Asia region use an abacus or Chinese hand gestures</li> <li>using body-tallying that involves body parts and one-to-one correspondence from counting systems of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to count to 20</li> </ul>
