add
Model addition and subtraction word problems with number line
add
Solve equations represented as weighting problems with scales
add
Skip count by 2s, 5s and 10s
add
Introduction to multiplication as repeated addition
add
Interpret picture graphs
add
Number patterns and number analogies
add
Geometry
Use spatial language (on, under, behind, top, bottom, etc.) to describe relative position
add
Left and right hands; show objects on left and right
add
Recognize and name flat shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, etc.) even when rotated
add
Identify and name polygons (quadrilateral, pentagon, etc.)
add
Explore angles and sides of flat shapes
add
See symmetry in shapes and objects; complete shapes to make them symmetrical
add
Explore mirror reflections
add
Measure the length or height of an object using smaller objects with visual help
add
3D shapes (sphere, cube, cone, cylinder)
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
Cut flat shapes into 3 parts, construct flat shapes from 3 parts
add
Mentally join and overlap flat shapes
add
Mentally fold and rotate shapes
add
Complete visual patterns; use visual reasoning by analogy
add
Solve mazes with 4–6 turns
add
Visually compare area and perimeter of two simple shapes
add
Visually find area and perimeter of shapes built from squares
add
Logic
Sort objects by category and count number of objects in each category
add
Sort objects using Venn diagrams
add
Patterns with beads
add
Growing patterns with objects
add
Use serial reasoning and reasoning by analogy
add
Odd one out
add
See simple number patterns
add
Continue the sequence to satisfy a given condition. For example, ”Make all fish a different size.”
add
Complete the sequence by changing only one attribute at a time (shape, color or size)
add
Make sets of objects "different" or "the same"
add
Find subsets of a set
add
Sort objects with tables and schemes based on their attributes
add
Understand ‘AND’ and ‘NOT’ instructions. For example, “Find the shape: it is green AND NOT a circle.”
add
‘TRUE’ and ‘FALSE’ statements. For example, “This shape is green and not a circle. 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
Algorithms
Apply given operations to various objects to find the result (change color, put a triangle on top, sort by size, etc.)
add
Reverse simple operations. For example, “All blue objects were colored red. Find the initial picture.”
add
Arrange events in chronological order
add
Understand and follow instructions
add
Build 3–5 step programs
add
Introduction to loops
add
Understand ‘IF–ELSE’ statement
add

add
Use coordinates to find location of an object on the grid
add
