ASMF Level 1 e-copy Set

Level 1 Addition and Subtraction covers the addition and subtraction only learning intentions for children aged about 5 to 7 years old.

 

At this level, students are working at solidifying their facts to 10 and 20 and starting to understand place value (the value of digits in a number). They are learning their doubles and halves to 20 and are beginning to learn simple strategies for mental addition and subtraction. 

 

The learning intentions covered in this book are:

• Able to recall addition and subtraction facts to 10
• Able to recall doubles and halves to 20
• Able to count on and back in tens from any number
• Able to solve number problems using compatibles to 10
• Knows the number of tens and ones in any 2-digit number
• Able to use doubles to solve addition and subtraction to 20
• Able to work with tens
• Knows number facts to 20

Level 1 Multiplication covers the multiplication only learning intentions for children aged about 5 to 7 years old.

 

At this level, students are still using the precursor to multiplication, called “skip counting”, and are just beginning to recognise the meaning of the multiplication symbol (x). Towards the end of this level, students begin to understand the meaning of the 2x, 5x and 10x tables, and perhaps commit some of these to memory.

 

The learning intentions covered in this book are:

• Able to skip count in twos and tens
• Able to skip count in fives
• Able to solve multiplication problems by skip counting
• Understands the x symbol
• Knows multiplication is commutative
• Knows the multiplication facts x2, x5 and x10

Level 1 Fractions covers the fractions only learning intentions for children aged about 5 to 7 years old.

 

At this level, students are starting to understand that numbers can be thought of as “wholes” and be divided (or “cut into”) several parts. They are learning their doubles and halves to 20 and are beginning to recognise the common unit fractions ½, ⅓, ¼ and ⅕. At this level, students will need reminding that fractions are equal parts of a whole.

 

The learning intentions covered in this book are:

• Able to recognise symbols for half and quarter
• Able to find halves and quarters of shapes (early)
• Able to find halves and quarters of sets
• Able to find halves and quarters of shapes (advanced)
• Able to find half or quarter of a set using doubles
• Able to recognise symbols for third and fifth
• Able to find thirds and fifths of shapes
• Able to recognise wholes with fractions left over

The Linear Series (Books 1-20) cover ALL learning intentions in the curriculum. They start at Year 0 (Book 1) and continue to Year 6 (Stage 6). The Linear Series books are recommended if you wish to support your child through the mathematics curriculum as they grow.

 

The Subject Area books (addition and subtraction, multiplication and fractions) are collections of the material taken from the Linear Series (Books 1-20). The Subject Area books cover only learning intentions that are relevant to that book. The Subject Area books are recommended if your child has a particular difficulty in one area, like fractions.
