• Recognize increasing and decreasing number sequences;
• Represent multiplication and division by groups;
• Learn currency values;
• Identify missing number;
• Count from and to 1,000;

Typically, students will:

• describe number sequences and locate numbers on a number line
• represent simple fractions using pictures
• learn about Australian money
• describe and draw shapes and objects, and use units to measure length
• learn to tell the time from an analogue clock, and use a calendar to determine the date
• describe the outcome of a chance event
• collect and investigate data collected from simple problems.
