In England it states
Recognise some numerals of personal significance.
? Recognises numerals 1 to 5.
? Counts up to three or four objects by saying one number
name for each item.
? Counts actions or objects which cannot be moved.
? Counts objects to 10, and beginning to count beyond 10.
? Counts out up to six objects from a larger group.
Selects the correct numeral to represent 1 to 5, then 1 to 10
objects.
? Counts an irregular arrangement of up to ten objects.
? Estimates how many objects they can see and checks by
counting them.
? Uses the language of ?more? and ?fewer? to compare two sets
of objects.
? Finds the total number of items in two groups by counting all
of them.
? Says the number that is one more than a given number.
? Finds one more or one less from a group of up to five objects,
then ten objects.
? In practical activities and discussion, beginning to use the
vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting.
? Records, using marks that they can interpret and explain.
? Begins to identify own mathematical problems based on own
interests and fascinations.
Early Learning Goal
Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20,
place them in order and say which number is one more
or one less than a given number. Using quantities and
objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers
and count on or back to find the answer. They solve
problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.
Beginning to use mathematical names for ?solid? 3D shapes
and ?flat? 2D shapes, and mathematical terms to describe
shapes.
? Selects a particular named shape.
? Can describe their relative position such as ?behind? or
?next to?.
? Orders two or three items by length or height.
? Orders two items by weight or capacity.
? Uses familiar objects and common shapes to create and
recreate patterns and build models.
? Uses everyday language related to time.
? Beginning to use everyday language related to money.
? Orders and sequences familiar events.
? Measures short periods of time in simple ways.
Early Learning Goal
Children use everyday language to talk about size,
weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to
compare quantities and objects and to solve problems.
They recognise, create and describe patterns. They
explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes
and use mathematical language to describe them.
