Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - p.57: printed 'K1.4.1.1.6', the code already used on printed p.53 for a different indicator (addition); this row is the last of sub-strand 4.2, whose own family K1.4.2.1.1-.6 runs on printed pp 54-56, so the structural reading is K1.4.2.1.7; transcribed as printed and left for a human
• indicator text - printed "K1.4.1.1.6" on p.57. Renumbered to "K1.4.2.1.7": the printed code repeats a code already used for a different indicator, and disagrees with this page own sub-strand heading. The target slot is the one gap in that sub-strand run.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners review the concept of addition and concentrate on Subtraction this week. Create a market scene where learners buy and sell different items in the community and use their understanding of the subtraction concept to buy with money and ask for a change. The buyer asks the seller a question "how much is left". Create different everyday situations and scaffold learners to subtract numbers. Let learners work in pairs and individually to solve problems in their exercise books.
