Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site by the end of August 2024. Maths content is still being migrated onto Tāhūrangi, and we will be progressively making enhancements to Tāhūrangi to improve the findability and presentation of content.

This means students will learn visual and symbolic patterns for the numbers to ten so they can be recognised without counting, groupings within and with five (for example 2 + 3, 5 + 4), names for ten (for example 6 + 4 therefore 10 – 4), doubles to ten at least (for example 4 + 4), and groupings with ten (for example 10 + 6, 8 + 10 - teen numbers).
This means students will know the forward number word sequence to 100 is the counting pattern of words and symbols, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... while the backward sequence is the pattern 100, 99, 98, 97... Students will also be able to name the number before and after a given number since this relates to taking an item off or putting an item onto an existing set.
This means students will use counting strategies including counting on and back, double counting, and skip counting. This corresponds to the counting stages of the number framework so achieving level one means that a student is at the Advanced Counting Stage. Examples of their strategies might be: to calculate 6 + 5 count 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, to calculate 12 – 3 count 11, 10, 9, or to calculate three groups of three double counting 1, 2, 3,...4, 5, 6,...7, 8, 9.
