Junior School Maths Unit Concepts and Strategies
Level 1 Achievement Standard
Number and Algebra
Students count to and from 100 and locate numbers on a number line. They
partition numbers using place value and carry out simple additions and subtractions,
using counting strategies. Students identify representations of one half. Students
describe number sequences resulting from skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. They
continue simple patterns involving numbers and objects with and without the use of
digital technology.
Statistics and Probability
Students describe data displays. They ask questions to collect data and draw simple
data displays. Students classify outcomes of simple familiar events.
Literacy
Students listen to others when taking part in conversations using appropriate
language features. Students interact in pair, group and class discussions, taking turns
when responding. They make short presentations of a few connected sentences on
familiar and learned topics.
Level 1 Content Descriptions
Number and Algebra
Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of
strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts.
Speaking and Listening
Participating in informal and structured class, group and pair discussions about
content area topics, ideas and information. Speaking clearly and with appropriate
volume. Interacting confidently and appropriately with peers, teachers, visitors and
community members. Learning to value listening, questioning and positive body
language.
Level 2 Achievement Standard
Number and Algebra
Students count to and from, and order numbers up to 1000. They perform simple
addition and subtraction calculations, using a range of strategies. Students represent
multiplication and division by grouping into sets and divide collections and shapes
into halves, quarters and eighths. They recognise increasing and decreasing number
sequences involving 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s, identifying the missing element in a number
sequence, and use digital technology to produce sequences by constant addition.
Statistics and Probability
Students collect data from relevant questions to create lists, tables and picture
graphs with and without the use of technology. They interpret data in context.
Students use everyday language to describe outcomes of familiar events.
Literacy
When discussing their ideas and experiences, students use everyday language
features and topic-specific vocabulary. Students use a variety of strategies to engage
in group and class discussions and make presentations.
Level 2 Content Descriptions
Number and Algebra
Explore the connection between addition and subtraction. Solve simple addition and
subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies.
Speaking and Listening
Students use spoken language for problem solving, and exploring ideas and
concepts. Participating in pair, group and class speaking and listening situations,
including informal conversations, class discussions and presentations. Demonstrating
appropriate listening behaviour, asking relevant questions and making connections
with personal experiences and the contributions of others. Speaking clearly and
with appropriate intonation.

Week 1

Focus -Using Near Doubles to Add

-Adding More Near Doubles
-Adding Using Near Doubles
-Adding in Any Order
Content Descriptions - Basic addition facts that are near doubles can be found using a related doubles facts
- Two numbers can be added in any order

Lesson Summary Learning Intention Success Criteria Resources Needed

Session 1 Review doubles facts. Write and
model a doubles fact. What if I
added 1 more to the doubles? I
have a double +1. Make and write
some near doubles facts. Say
double* is plus 1 more is*
Session 2 Students make doubles facts with
unifix(use all the same colour). Now
make near doubles facts by adding
1 more(different colour)
Session 3 Revision of previous lesson,
addition strategies.
Session 4 Have 3 girls and 2 boys stand up.
Write the addition equation 3+2=5.
Have the girls and boys swap the
order. Write the new equation
2+3=5. Does the total change? No,
we can add numbers in any order
and the total will be the same.

Focus -Showing Addition on a Tens Frame

-Making 10 on a Ten Frame
-Making 10 to Add 9
-Making 10 to Add Two Numbers
Content Descriptions - Facts with sums from 6to 10 can be partitioned into 5 plus some more
- Ten can be shown in two parts in different ways and represented using addition number sentences.
- Addition facts involving 9 can be changed to an equivalent fact with 10
- Addition facts involving 8 or 9 can be changed to and equivalent fact with 10
