NUMERACY STRATEGIES EXPLAINED

Students in my classroom are working on the following strategies:

 * ** Stage 0: Emergent ** || The student is unable to consistently count a given number of objects because they lack knowledge of counting sequences and/or one-one counting.
 * ** Stage 1: One-to-one counting ** || The student is able to count a set of objects or form sets of objects but cannot solve problems that involve joining and separating sets.
 * ** Stage 2: Counting from one on materials ** || The student is able to count a set of objects or form sets of objects to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
 * ** Stage 3: Counting from one by imaging ** || The student is able to visualise sets of objects to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
 * ** Stage 4: Advanced counting ** || The student uses counting on or counting back to solve simple addition or subtraction tasks.
 * ** Stage 5: Early additive part-whole ** || The student uses a limited range of mental strategies to estimate answers and solve addition or subtraction problems. These strategies involve deriving the answer from known basic facts, (eg. doubles, fives, making tens).
 * ** Stage 6: Advanced additive/early multiplicative part-whole ** || The student can estimate answers and solve addition and subtraction tasks involving whole numbers mentally by choosing appropriately from a broad range of advanced mental strategies (eg. place value positioning, rounding and compensating or reversibility).
