Begins to make comparisons between quantities. Uses some language of quantities, such as ‘more’ and ‘a lot’. Knows that a group of things changes in quantity when something is added or taken away. Uses some number names and number language spontaneously. Uses some number names accurately in play. Shows an interest in representing numbers. Realises not only objects, but anything can be counted, including steps, claps or jumps. Shows interest in shapes in the environment. Beginning to use mathematical names for ‘solid’ 3D shapes and ‘flat’ 2-D shapes, and mathematical terms to describe shapes. Selects a particular named shape. Can describe their relative position such as ‘behind’ or ‘next to’. Orders two or three items by length or height. Orders two items by weight or capacity. Uses the language of ‘more’ and ‘fewer’ to compare two sets of objects. Finds the total number of items in two groups by counting all of them.
