understands basic fractions and decimals.
At this stage, a learner:
Place Value
- counts forward by Is, 2s, 5s, 10s, 25s and 100s to 1,000
- understands concept of place value to 2 digits (e.g. can explain that the digit
"5" in the number 59 is worth "50" and in the number 75 it is worth
"5")
- using manipulatives such as Base Ten Blocks, is able to physically represent numbers 1
to 500, and vice versa
- is able to read, write and show an understanding of numbers in written form (one, two
... ) from 1 to 100
- orders and compares numbers (greater than, less than, equal to) 1 to 500
- rounds off numbers
- estimates greater quantities and amounts
