4 & 5-year olds: Mathematics
I can count objects, actions and sounds.
• I can quickly recognise a group of up to five objects without counting. This is called ‘subitising’.
• I can match the correct numeral (number symbol) to the right amount, e.g. I can play ‘snap’ where some cards have numerals, and some have dot arrangements.
• I can count beyond ten.
• I can compare numbers of items.
• I understand the ‘one more than/one less than’ relationship between consecutive numbers.
I am learning about how numbers are made up of other numbers up to 10, e.g. 3 and 3 makes 6. This is called composition of number.
• I know and can say number bonds for numbers 0-5 and some to 10.
• I can select and rotate shapes, this helps me to learn spatial reasoning skills.
• I am learning about how shapes can be combined to make new shapes, e.g. two triangles can be put together to make a square. This helps me to recognise a shape can have other shapes within it, just like numbers can.
• I can continue, copy and create repeating patterns.
• I can compare length, weight and capacity, e.g. “This is heavier than that.”
