Who Makes Up Australia?
Students will be learning about the diverse
groups that make up Australia. Please have
a chat with your child about their family
heritage so that they can be celebrated in
class.
Seasons for Growth:
If your child has experienced significant
change or loss in their lives through death,
separation or divorce, sometimes they may
benefit from learning to manage these
circumstances effectively. Come speak to us
if you are interested in this program

10 minutes reading every
day at home
Home Reading Tip
When reading with your child and
they make a mistake, encourage
them to ‘Back up and re-read’ the
sentence. When stuck, encourage
them to look at the picture and
the first sound of the word and
match what it could be.

Tens Mate Master
More or Less Master
Recognising a number of objects, up to 5, with no counting. Example:
Able to identify without pointing or counting.
Knowing double facts from 1-10. Example:
Double 5 = Double 8 = Double 3 =
Being able to count from 1-20. Example:
Give students a random pile of objects less than 21. They have to count them correctly.
Writing numbers for 0-20 correctly. Example:
Students must write the numbers from 0-20 in order with no reversals of numbers. (5 as S or 2)
Knowing pairs of numbers that add to 10. Example:
Students need to respond with autonomy what number goes with the other to make ten. 7 and…. 4 and…
Knowing 1 more and 1 less than for numbers up to 20. Example:
Written or verbal. Students need to respond to one more than or one less than a chosen number less than 21.
Ideas:
Use dice with dots for board games. Remind your child that they don’t always need to count they can use their eyes. Guess how many things there are and then count them.
Ideas:
Use playing cards for games like snap. Students need to add the matching cards and say correct answer in order to keep the pile. Ask doubles questions in the car whilst driving, whilst walking to school, whilst cooking dinner, etc.
Ideas:
Practise counting whenever possible. Counting things whilst out shopping, whilst walking or driving. Read books that include counting.
Ideas:
Write numbers and have your child trace over them. Have a number line present in a popular place in your home so your student can visual see the way numbers are written.
Ideas:
Play games like snap where numbers add to ten in order to collect the pile. Roll a dice and instead of saying the number rolled students need to respond with what can be added to the rolled number to equal 10.
Ideas:
Practise counting forwards and backwards. Write the numbers 0-20 and then cover some over. Ask what’s missing. Students solve the question without counting.

Halving Master
Addition Master
Counting Master
Reading and Writing Master
Renaming Master
Order Master
1-10 Master
Being able to halve all numbers to 20. Example:
Half of 8 = Half of 18 =
Adding numbers to 20 using doubles. Students should answer automatically and not count. Example:
5+6 is double 5 and 1 more. Or 5+6 is double 6 and 1 less.
Counting by 2, 5 and 10. Example:
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20. 5,10,15….50. 10,20,30….100.
Reading and writing numbers 0-999. Example:
Students are given a number and have to read it aloud. Students hear the number and write it down.
Knowing the number of tens and ones in a number to 99. Example:
15 = 1 ten and 5 ones 57 = 5 tens and 7 ones. 89 = 8 tens and 9 ones.
Ordering numbers from 0-999. Example:
224,35,753,187,983,300 35,187,224,300,753,983
Knowing facts for numbers up to 10 automatically. Example:
5 and 2 = What is 2 less than 10 = Double 3 and 1 more = Students should be able to explain how they got their answer and use strategies other than counting on.
Ideas:
Remind children that halving is the opposite of doubling. Ask halving questions when possible. What is half of 8?
Ideas:
Remind children that they know doubles and this is like doubles. Ask/Write questions. Use language like 5 and 6 is like double 5 and then add one more.
Ideas:
Practise saying and writing the counting patterns. Have them written down and placed in a prominent area of the house.
Ideas:
Ask children to write Numbers between 0-999. Remind them that we read numbers from left to right and that numbers in the hundreds have 3 digits.
Ideas:
Students can be given a T-Chart with tens and ones written in each column to help. Give students a number and they have to verbally respond to how many tens and ones make that number.
Ideas:
Write 10 random numbers between 0-999 and have students order. Roll a dice to make the 3 digit numbers random and then order.
Ideas:
Use playing cards to make questions. Only use cards 10 and under. Turn a card over and: One more / Two more One less / Two less Double it Half it (where answer is a whole number)
