Get Ready For Mathematics – A Foundation Numeracy Activity Book

The Get Ready For Mathematics – A Foundation Numeracy Activity Book is the perfect resource to develop your child’s numeracy skills during their first year of formal schooling. It includes activities for all of the Australian Curriculum Standards for mathematics at a foundation level. Children use whiteboard markers, playdough, tweezers, pom poms and dice to develop their foundation numeracy skills. The pages are flexible enough that other loose parts materials could be used.

Set up is easy just print and put activities into plastic sleeves and into a binder or print off activities to use during small group lessons. I recommend using good quality plastic sleeves to enable the whiteboard marker to come off with ease.

Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards that are covered in activity book.

Number:
AC9MFN01 – name, represent and order numbers including zero to at least 20, using physical and virtual materials and numerals.

AC9MFN02 – recognise and name the number of objects within a collection up to 5 using subitising.

AC9MFN03 – quantify and compare collections to at least 20 using counting and explain or demonstrate reasoning.

AC9MFN04 – partition and combine collections up to 10 using part-part-whole relationships and subitising to recognise and name the parts.

AC9MFN05 – represent practical situations involving addition, subtraction and quantification with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies.

AC9MFN06 – represent practical situations that involve equal sharing and grouping with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies.

Algebra:

AC9MFA01 – recognise, copy and continue repeating patterns represented in different ways.

Measurement

AC9MFM01 – identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning.

AC9MFM02 – sequence days of the week and times of the day including morning, lunchtime, afternoon and night time, and connect them to familiar events and actions.
Space:

AC9MFSP01 – sort, name and create familiar shapes; recognise and describe familiar shapes within objects in the environment, giving reasons.

AC9MFSP02 – describe the position and location of themselves and objects in relation to other people and objects within a familiar space.

Statistics:

AC9MFST01 – collect, sort and compare data represented by objects and images in response to given investigative questions that relate to familiar situations.
