  • Identifies 2-D shapes viz., rectangle, square, triangle, circle by their names.
  • Describes intuitively the properties of these 2-D shapes.
  • Identifies and makes straight lines by folding, straight edged objects, stretched strings and draws free hand
    and with a ruler.
  • Draws horizontal, vertical and slant lines (free hand).
  • Distinguishes between straight and curved lines.

Numbers (46 hrs.)

  • Reads and writes numerals for numbers up to ninety-nine.
  • Expands a number with respect to place values.
  • Counts and regroups objects into tens and ones.
  • Uses the concept of place value in the comparison of numbers.
  • Counts in various ways:
    – Starting from any number.
    – Group counting etc.
  • Arranges numbers upto hundred in ascending and descending order.
  • Forms the greatest and the smallest two digit numbers with and without repetition of given digits.
  • Indicates and identifies the position of an object in a line.

a) Addition and Subtraction

  • Adds and subtracts two digit numbers by drawing representations of tens and ones without and with
    regrouping.
  • Adds zero to a number and subtracts zero from a number.
  • Observes the commutative property of addition through patterns.
  • Solves addition, subtraction problems presented through pictures and verbal description.
  • Describes orally the situations that correspond to the given addition and subtraction facts.
  • Estimates the result of addition and subtraction and compares the result with another given number.

b) Preparation for Multiplication And Division

  • Measures lengths & distances along short & long paths using uniform (non-standard) units, extends to longer lengths.

b) Weight

  • Compares two or more objects by their weight.
  • Appreciates the need for a simple balance.
  • Compares weights of given objects using simple balance.

c) Capacity (Volume)

  • Compares and orders containers in terms of internal volume(capacity).
  • Orders given containers as per their capacities on the basis of perception & verifies by pouring out etc.

d) Time

  • Gets familiar with the days of the week and months of the year.
  • Gets a feel for sequence of seasons (varying locally).
  • Sequences the events occurring over longer periods in terms of dates/days.

Data Handling (6 hrs.)

  • Collects data through measurement.
  • Represents the data followed by discussion (e.g. heights of children).
  • Collects and presents the data on birthdays.
  • Draws inferences from the data at the appropriate level.

Patterns (10 hrs.)

  • Observes and extends patterns in sequence of shapes and numbers.
  • Searches for patterns in different ways of splitting a number.
  • Creates block patterns by stamping thumbprints, leaf prints, vegetable prints, etc.
  • Creates patterns of regular shapes by stamping.
