Principle

Helping children to see themselvesas mathematicians, and developing positive attitudes and dispositions towards their learning (p71)

Early learning goals

* Say and use number names inorder in familiar contexts (p74)

* Count reliably up to ten everyday objects (p74)

* Recognise numerals 1 to 9 (p74)

* Use developing mathematicalideas and methods to solvepractical problems (p74)

* In practical activities and discussion, begin to use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting (p76)

* Begin to relate addition to combining two groups of objects and subtraction to 'taking away' (p76)
