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.112: printed 'K2.1.2.1.6', the code already used on printed p.108 for 'Draw themselves and label the parts of the body'; this row closes sub-strand 1.3, whose family runs .1-.6 on printed pp 108-111, so the structural reading is K2.1.3.1.7; transcribed as printed and left for a human
• indicator text - printed "K2.1.2.1.6" on p.112. Renumbered to "K2.1.3.1.7": 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)

Collect a set of items we use to care for our bodies and weigh them Compare the items by using words such as: "heavier than", "smaller than, less than", "5 more than", "10 less than". Move on to teach the learners the symbols such as "<", "=", ">" to compare and order whole numbers up to 20.
