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.59: printed 'K1.4.1.1.6' a third time, after K1.4.3.1.5 and inside sub-strand 4.3, whose family runs .1-.5 on printed pp 57-59, so the structural reading is K1.4.3.1.6; transcribed as printed and left for a human
indicator text - printed "K1.4.1.1.6" on p.59. Renumbered to "K1.4.3.1.6": 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 subtraction. Create different scenarios and story problems to help learners practise subtraction in a real-life situation. The chief came to the schools with 7 boxes of books and donate 5 boxes to our school. How many more are left? Repeat this with sharing of school
materials, market scene where learners buy and sell different items in the community, etc.
