STAGE+1-3

= EXPECTATIONS - WHAT SHOULD WE SEE? =

Stage Zero: Emergent **Students at this stage are unable to consistently count a given number of objects because they lack knowledge of counting sequences and/or the ability to match things in one-to-one correspondence.**

Stage One: One-to-one Counting **This stage is characterised by students who can count and form a set of objects up to ten but cannot solve simple problems that involve joining and separating sets, like 4 + 3.**

Stage Two: Counting from One on Materials **Given a joining or separating of sets problem, students at this stage rely on counting physical materials, like their fingers. They count all the objects in both sets to find an answer, as in “Five lollies and three more lollies. How many lollies is that altogether?”**

Stage Three: Counting from One by Imaging **This stage is also characterised by students counting all of the objects in simple joining and separating problems. Students at this stage are able to image visual patterns of the objects in their mind and count them.** = = = = = RESOURCES = =Have a look in Shared Teacher Resources Folder - Ruahine Team - Maths Games, there are a lot of games that cover Basic Facts/ Number ID/Grouping/Doubles/Skip Counting etc.....=

Teacher picks 2 cards and makes a number eg 76, put a peg on it on a 100’s number line. Class in 2 teams and a deck of cards, team to pick 2 cards eg 1 and 9 can choose to make it 19 or 91. Team wins who has number closest to teacher’s number eg 76. Put different coloured pegs on for each teams number to see which is closest. Best of 3.
