, Question 1:
1.1) Dodecahedron
1.2) Cardinality
1.3) Perimeter
1.4) Rational number
1.5) Change unknown
1.6) Mean
1.7) Unitising
1.8) Non-unitary fractions
1.9) Isosceles triangle
1.10) Many-to-one counters (10)
Question 2: (15)
Principles: Example:
1. Stable order principle The order that we always count in, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc. and not
1,2,6,4,5,7,3.
2. One-to-one principle When a leaner counts a set of blocks and touches each block
and says the number aloud for each block they touch.
3. Cardinal principle There are six pencils on the table, if the learner counts them,
'One' 'Two' 'Three' 'Four' 'Five' 'Six' and understand that the
last one counted is the amount of the pencil set.
4. Abstraction principle There are four lolly pops that the learner counted and then
he/she counted objects like a car, a banana, a phone and a
book and realised that it’s also four. So, they understand the
set is four even though the objects aren’t the same.
5. Order irrelevance principle There is a bird, cat and fish, the first time they start to count
at the cat, bird, fish and see the set is 3 and the second time
they start to count at the fish, cat, bird and still understand
it’s 3 no matter where they start.
