1. Expectations of the TEN Program

2. Focus Helping to monitor students’ rate of progress in key strategies.
Supporting the teaching needed to move students beyond the broad targets.
Tracking students’ response to the intervention.

3. Broad Kindergarten target
All Kindergarten students will have reached at least the perceptual counting stage in the range to 20 by the end of the year.

4. Broad Year 1 target
All Year 1 students will be at least able to show figurative counting across the decade (9 + 4 and 12 remove 3) by the end of the year.

5. Broad Year 2 target
All Year 2 students will be at least counting-on-and-back in the range to 30 by the end of the year.

9. Things to Remember
One strategy doesn’t replace another, they co- exist.
Although counting-on-and back is a Year 2 target, it is a minimal target. The transition to non-count by ones methods is important for all students.
Students using perceptual counting strategies with large numbers have been identified in Stage 3 and Stage 4 classes where this can contribute to them being considered to be slow learners.

10. Things to Remember
If you don’t understand something, ask! It is more important to be able to learn than to know everything.
You cannot learn for other people, you can only help them to learn.
Students need frequent opportunities to practice and so do you.
