KS1 & KS2 maths curriculum

This unit moves on from counting to comparing items and attaching value to those items through various criteria. Equality is seen as a result of comparison and considered alongside inequality. Learning then develops to look at part-part-whole relationships using objects which are then represented with numerals. This provides the language and structure needed to move onto the following units on composition of numbers.

1. Explain that items can be compared using length and height
2. Explain that items can be compared using weight and mass
3. Explain that items can be compared using capacity
4. Count a set of objects
5. Solve problems by comparing sets of objects
6. Use equality and inequality symbols to compare sets of objects
7. Use equality and inequality symbols to compare the relative size of two numbers
8. Explain what a whole is
9. Explain that a whole can be split into parts
10. Explain that a whole can represent a group of objects
11. Identify a part of a whole group
12. Explain what a part-part-whole model is
13. Use a part-part-whole model to represent a whole partitioned into two parts
14. Use a part-part-whole model to represent partitioning into more than two parts
15. Solve problems using part-part-whole models with more than two parts
