Australian Curriculum Content DescriptionsNumber and Algebra

Number and place value

ACMNA001 identify the number words in sequence, backwards and forwards, and reason with the number sequences, establishing the language on which subsequent counting experiences can be built; develop fluency with forwards and backwards counting in meaningful contexts, including stories and rhymes; understand that numbers are said in a particular order and there are patterns in the way we say them

ACMNA002 connect number names, numerals and quantities, including zero, initially up to 10 and then beyond; understand that each object must be counted only once, that the arrangement of objects does not affect how many there are, and that the last number counted answers the ‘how many’ question

ACMNA003 use subitising as the basis for ordering and comparing collections of numbers

Key vocabulary7, seven, number, word, count, match, numerals 1–6, number words one to six

ESL/ELL

The numeral 1 and the numeral 7 can be confusing as they look similar when the 1 is written with a serif at the top. This can be confusing for ESL students learning a new set of glyphs. Be sure to differentiate between the two – either use a single vertical line for 1 (as for the letter l) or add the horizontal line at the bottom to make it clear it is not a 7. Remind students to write their 1s and 7s clearly as well.

Classroom activitiesTrace it!

Repeat the word seven while tracing the numeral 7.

• In the air, on the floor or on someone’s back with a finger.

• On paper using finger paint.

• In a tray of sand.

• On a tablet using a drawing app.

Make it!

Give each student some playdough, plasticine or clay and some pipe-cleaners, toothpicks or paddle pop sticks. They could also collect natural items such as leaves and twigs. They combine the items with the modelling material to make the series of numbers from 1 to 7.
