Use objects, drawings, or simple number sentences to represent a real-world situation (early mathematical modelling)
Mastery Evidence
- Draw a picture or use objects to represent a simple real-world situation involving counting or comparing
- Write or dictate a number sentence to describe a real-world situation (e.g. 'I had 5 apples and ate 2')
- Use the model to answer a question about the situation
