2-digit numbers as tens and ones with objects and base 10 blocks
add
Compare 2-digit numbers with and without visual representation

Fluently add and subtract numbers up to 20
add
Use addition and subtraction strategies for numbers up to 20
add
Use base 10 blocks to add 2-digit numbers with regrouping

Multiplication by 2, 5 and 10
add
Divide by counting equal groups
add
Visual introduction to fractions
add
Solve simple put-together and take-apart problems using picture graphs and bar graphs
add
Number patterns and puzzles based on addition and subtraction
add
Use spatial language (on, under, top, bottom, on the right, on the left, etc.) to describe relative position
add
Left and right: understand relative left and right; show left and right for characters in different orientations
add
Recognize and name rotated flat shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, etc.)
add
Identify and name polygons (quadrilateral, pentagon, etc.)
add
Count and compare number of angles and sides in polygons
add
Compose and decompose polygons
add
Lines and intersection points
add
See symmetry in shapes and objects; complete shapes to make them symmetrical
add
Explore mirror reflections
add
Lines of symmetry, rotational symmetry
add
Measure the length or height of an object using smaller objects or units
add
3D shapes (sphere, cube, cone, cylinder)
add
Vertices, edges and faces in 3D shapes
add
Build models of 3D shapes
add
Explore how 3D shapes look from above and from the sides
add
Interpret a simple map and use it to find objects in a picture or real environment
add
3D shapes built from cubes (find identical shapes, count the number of cubes, etc.)
add
Mentally join and overlap flat shapes
add
Mentally fold and rotate shapes
add
Complete visual patterns, visual reasoning by analogy
add
Solve complex mazes
add
Visually compare area and perimeter of two simple shapes
add
Visually find area and perimeter of shapes built from squares
add
Sort objects using Venn diagrams
add
Visual patterns with two or more attributes
add
Growing patterns with objects and numbers
add
Use serial reasoning and reasoning by analogy
add
Odd one out
add
Number patterns including arithmetic progression
add
Continue the sequence to satisfy two conditions. For example, “Сomplete the sequence so that only 2 shapes are red and only one is a circle.”
add
Complete the sequence by changing only one attribute at a time (shape, color or size)
add
Find subsets of a set
add
Find the intersection of two sets. For example, “Which objects are in both sets?”
add
Understand ‘AND’ and ‘NOT’ instructions. For example, “Find the shape: it is green AND NOT a circle.”
add
Understand the mathematical operator, ‘OR’. For example, “Choose all shapes that are either green OR a square.”
add
‘TRUE’ and ‘FALSE’ statements. For example, “This shape is green and not a circle. True or false?”
add
Check if ‘ALL’ statement is TRUE. For example, “All cats are black. True or false?”
add
Check if ‘SOME’ statement is TRUE. For example, “Some cats are black. True or false?”
add
Solve logic puzzles with two steps. For example, “Alice and Eric live in houses 1 and 2. Alice doesn’t live in house number 2. Who lives where?”
add
Apply given operations to various objects to find the result (change all triangles in the picture to squares, etc.)
add
Reverse simple operations. For example, “I changed all triangles in the picture to squares. Find all possible variants of the original picture”
add
Arrange events in chronological order
add
Build 5–8 step programs
add
Introduction to loops
add
Use ‘IF–ELSE’ statement
add
Understand block diagrams
add
Use coordinates to find location of an object on the grid
add
Solve puzzles based on chess moves
add
Introduction to graphs: vertices and edges; find identical graphs
add
