Primary 1 -maths curriculum question

Just wondering what the expected levels are by the end of primary 1?

DD's school works on a system of The Story Of (not sure if all schools do this). So basically they do the story of a number (ie: the story of 6 would be all the combination of numbers that add up to 6 - 1+5, 2+4 etc). From what I can see they do the story of 1 to 9 adding then the next stage they start over again but this time doing subtraction.

Anyway with the curriculum for excellence it's hard to find out what the expected levels are for each year group. Does anyone know?

I would normally ask DD's teacher but she is off just now and we have a substitute teacher just now who is due to leave this week and will be replaced by another substitute teacher on Tuesday.

Thanks for the links. That makes me look at things a little differently.

KS1 is for YR1 & YR2 our equivalent of PS2 & PS3. She is in PS1 which is the equivalent of YR, however as you guys start younger. Given her birthday she would be in YR so by that standard she would be doing very well. However due to the different age intake here (ie: there are children in her class who turned 6 in march) then the equivalent levels would be somewhere between the early years and KS1.

So I'm guessing she's pretty much on track. I can see now why they are only looking at number bonds 1-10 rather than 20. Y1 kids will only have another 5 years in primary school but PS1 kids have another 6 years so it should all balance out in the end. Hopefully.
