Number System Mastery: Develop proficiency in identifying, ordering, and representing numbers up to 100; understand place value and principles of counting in various increments.
Operational Fluency (Introduction): Grasp the conceptual underpinnings of addition, subtraction, multiplication (as repeated addition/arrays), and division (as sharing/grouping).
Geometric Foundations: Recognize, name, and describe the properties of common 2D and 3D shapes; develop spatial awareness through understanding position, direction, and movement.
Introduction to Measurement: Compare and order lengths, masses, capacities/volumes, and time, using appropriate standard and non-standard units.
Early Problem-Solving Strategies: Apply acquired mathematical knowledge to solve simple, contextualized problems, fostering logical reasoning.
