WIS PYP Mathematics Pre-Primary
Children will have the opportunity to identify and reflect upon “big ideas” by making connections between the questions asked and the concepts that drive the inquiry. They will become aware of the relevance these concepts have to all of their learning. ||=  ||
 * < ===PYP Overall Expectations (Age Range 3-5 years)===
 * < ===Data handling: statistics and probability=== ||= Children will sort real objects by attributes, create graphs using real objects and compare quantities. They will discuss and identify outcomes that will happen, won’t happen or might happen ||
 * < ===Measurement=== ||= Children will identify and compare attributes of real objects, and events in their realm of experience. ||
 * < ===Shape and Space=== ||= Children will sort, describe and compare 3-D shapes and explore the paths, regions and boundaries of their immediate environment and their position ||
 * < ===Pattern and Function=== ||= Children will find, describe and create simple patterns in their world. ||
 * < ===Number=== ||= Children will read, write, count, compare and order numbers to 20. They will model number relationships to 10, develop a sense of 1–1 correspondence and conservation of

number. They will select and explain an appropriate method for solving a problem ||

**Current Mathematical Matters:**

 * Revised February/March 2013**


 * Till the end of the second term we shall focus on:**
 * - mapping schools(visist to a music school as a trigger to our discussions and using our knowledge about shapes)**
 * - sorting objects by size, shape, colour and**
 * - making sets**
 * - using VENN diagram for what sets have 'in common'**

revised 11th January 2013

Week 7th January - 18th January 1. Linking Geometry and Numeracy (2Dshapes, sets, patterns, numbers 1-20)

Group A: Numeracy - counting above 5 - patterns Group B:Shape patterns, 6 element sets. Group C 2D shapes revision, numeracy 1-10, 2 element sets

2. Measurement (length) of 2D shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle).

revised 2.10.2012 additional skills: - sorting items by colour and shape - addition 1-5 - subtraction 5-1 - venn diagrammes - looking for similarities and differences (farm animals and plants)

revised 18.09.2012 School Week 1-4

Mathematics: Numeracy skills: - counting forwards and backwards 0-10 and 10-0 - organising days of the week and singing a day song - introduction to geometrical shapes: circle, oval, square, rectangular shape. 3D shape formation - what we can make with a line? a sphere - funny acorn faces

May 18th, 2012 Organising our day schedule - Friday

updated : MAY 7TH, 2012 Probability: certain, uncertain, possible - based on daily experiences.
