- make up, tell, and record number stories, up to 9, about given objects and sequence pictures (N1).
Sample Development Band Activities
• Students arrange and re-arrange a number of objects to show different ways of representing the number. They read and record each arrangement and explain the result.
• Students make a chart showing the relationships they have sorted from a set of picture cards.
• Students make a number story book and share their entries with others. An entry might be: Mum had three potatoes and Dad had seven. 7+3=10. Dad ate more than Mum. He had 4 more. 7 is 4 more than 3.
• Students explore, record, and describe a variety of number patterns, for example, by using a hundreds board.
