Determining the starting point for instruction

The students were recently assessed to determine their achievement in relation to Early Stage 1 outcomes in the Three-dimensional Space and Two-dimensional Space Substrands, and the starting point for instruction.

The assessment has indicated to the teacher that James can:

(Three-dimensional Space)

sort a variety of three-dimensional objects and describe his sorting using informal language, eg ‘All of these objects are round’
sort three-dimensional objects and re-sort them using different attributes
recognise, sort and use informal names for common three-dimensional objects, eg box, ball.

(Two-dimensional Space)

sort a variety of two-dimensional shapes and describe his sorting using informal language, eg ‘All of these shapes are shiny and blue’
sort two-dimensional shapes and then re-sort them on the basis of another attribute, eg sort by colour and then sort by size (‘big’ and ‘small’).
