    The unit plan focuses on developing students' understanding of numbers to 10 through learning the "Rainbow Facts" (pairs of numbers that add up to 10) and subitizing small quantities. Over five weeks, students will engage in activities using manipulatives like Unifix cubes, tens frames, and cards to explore patterns in the Rainbow Facts and ways to compose numbers. Formative assessments include observations of students during activities, and they will create Rainbow Facts posters to showcase their learning.

    Teaching strategies used throughout:


     Explicit instruction  Small group learning (socially mediated learning/purposeful
     Mental routines grouping)
     Think, pair, share  Use of technology, interactive whiteboards, YouTube
     Co-constructed learning videos, Active Inspire program
     Whole class discussions, including sharing circles  Explicit modelling
     Smaller group instruction  Providing students with prompts and guiding questions to
     Use of manipulatives and concrete materials provoke thinking and ideas

    Learning Area: Mathematics


    Strand: Number and Algebra | Sub-strand: Number and Place Value
    Learning Focus and Outcomes:
    Content Descriptor/s:
     Connect number names, numerals and quantities, including zero, initially up to 10 and then beyond (ACMNA002)
     Subitise small collections of objects (ACMNA003)
     Represent practical situations to model addition and sharing (ACMN004)
    Learning Intention/s for Unit:
    Students are learning to develop their ability to bridge to ten through learning the twelve Rainbow Facts (Friends of Ten; Facts of Ten), so that they can
    quickly bridge to ten to further their mathematic understandings.
    Students will also learn to develop their skills in subitising and trusting the count, so that they can quickly recognise subitised patterns and progress to
    trusting the count.
    Achievement Standard:
    … students make connections between number names, numerals and quantities up to 10.
    Success Criteria for Students:
    I will know that students can do this when they can recognise the rainbow facts pattern and can successfully bridge to ten using the process.
    Connections With:
    General Capabilities: Cross Curriculum Priorities:
    Numeracy: Not applicable.
    Understand and sue numbers in context.
    Using a range of practical strategies for adding small groups of numbers,
    such as visual displays or concrete materials.
    Literacy:
    Understand learning area vocabulary.
    Assessment:
    Formative Assessment Summative Assessment
    Observations and questioning throughout mental routines, rotations and Rainbow Facts poster. Completed late in Week Four or early Week Five.
    floor work. Student conferences during Week Five.
    Specific Student Needs: Learning and Behaviour Adjustment and Considerations
    Henry, Curtis, Luke W, Luke R and Joshua Each identified student would benefit from; close support, explicit
    instruction, the use of manipulative materials, purposeful grouping (working
    with more knowledgeable others).

    One Trusting the Monday: Unifix Cubes Mental Routine Monday Observation and
    count. questioning
    Ask students to grab 12 Unifix cubes and place them in front of them. Unifix cubes (12 for
    during mental
    Establishing basic each student)
    How might you arrange your cubes to make it easy to count them in 2s? routines,
    knowledge and
    If you put your cubes into three groups, how many might you have in each group? rotations and
    skills.
    class floor work.
    I have made two groups that you all of my 12 cubes. You have to ask me questions
    to find out how many I have in each group.
    Ask students to take 2 cubes away so they are left with 10 cubes.
    Ask them to arrange them in ways that make it easier to know straight away that
    there are 10 without doing a count all.
    Students engage in a think, pair, share to discuss with a buddy how they have
    arranged their cubes.
    Tuesday
    Students engage in a class discussion and sharing session about what they have
    found. Paper

    Students should begin to recognise patterns of rainbow facts. They will also be using Own example
    their knowledge about subitising patterns and knowledge of doubles. Wednesday
    Tuesday: Problematised Situation Natural Maths
    Ask students to draw 10 representations of 2 different things, objects, animals, etc. Rainbow Facts
    Emphasising what might this look like? Multiple answers, 9-1, 8-2, 7-3, 6-4. Poster
    Students will engage in a sharing circle to conclude the lesson and share their ideas,
    thinking and findings.
    Wednesday: Explicit Introduction to Rainbow Facts
    Introduce students through explicit instruction to the Natural Maths Rainbow Facts
    poster.
    Beginning with the outside layer of the rainbow and follow each rainbow band from
    left to right to find the rainbow pairs that add up to 10.
    Ask students to identify what is the other number in the rainbow pair that goes with
    6/7/8/9/10.
    Play Guess My Rainbow Pair to familiarise students with the position of the rainbow Thursday
    pairs.
    Ten frames
    Students may ask questions such as;
    Counters (10 for
     Is your rainbow pair near the middle of the rainbow? each student)
     Is your number on the left less than four?
    Inference about the patterns. It goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 the numbers on the left
    Friday
    get bigger as the numbers on the right get smaller.
    Pictures of dice
    Thursday: Using Tens Frames
    Smartboard
    Using counters and ten frames to demonstrate the different ways to make ten.
    Emphasising that each rainbow fact adds up to a total of ten.
    I will demonstrate an example to students first.
    I could call out one number of a rainbow fact and then students need to use the tens
    frames to demonstrate the other part of the rainbow fact.
    Friday: Make to Ten
    Have pictures of dice on the smartboard, students need to work to identify and
    group two dice together to make 10 altogether. Students will engage in a think, pair,
    share to share their ideas and thoughts with others before having the opportunity to
    group the dice on the board for the whole class to see.
