      Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Put number cards in order from 1 to 5.<\/li>\n
      • Identify and use \u201cfirst,\u201d \u201csecond,\u201d \u201cthird,\u201d \u201cfourth,\u201d and \u201cfifth\u201d in context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Transformation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Move from isolated numbers to an understanding of order and position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Foundation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Number recognition and counting to 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            What Happens Next:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Sets the stage for patterning and more complex sequences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Skill Progression:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Number sequencing<\/li>\n
