quantify sets of objects, to at least 120, by partitioning collections into equal groups using number knowledge and skip counting

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• counting a large collection of items using groups of fives or tens and skip counting to work out how many there are; recording the amount and connecting the digits in the number to the grouped materials when using groups of \(10\)
• counting collections of objects such as pencils or images of birds in a tree, by grouping them in tens to enable efficient counting and connecting the digits in the number to the groups of tens and ones
• counting a large collection of Australian \(\$1\) coins by stacking them into piles of \(10\), skip counting in tens and including any leftover coins to determine the total value
