This home-based unit invites families to explore early mathematics through storytelling, nature play and everyday experiences connected to First Nations ways of learning. Across five hands-on lessons, children count leaves, create patterns, sing counting songs, measure journeys and sort household treasures. Each activity blends discovery, creativity and cultural awareness, showing that maths lives in stories, movement, patterns and care for the environment. Designed for family learning, these experiences build confidence, curiosity and respect for Country while strengthening foundational numeracy and problem-solving skills in everyday, meaningful ways.
Tune In
Children count and compare natural materials like leaves and stones to explore numbers and patterns in nature.
Find Out
Children discover maths through stories, nature and movement. They create patterns, sing counting songs and measure using hands and feet, learning about numbers, rhythm and space in ways inspired by First Nations knowledge. These playful activities build problem‑solving, confidence and an appreciation for how people read, measure, and care for Country.
Take Action
Children explore sorting and grouping through a playful treasure hunt. By comparing everyday and natural items by shape, colour or purpose, they learn how organisation supports care for Country while building early maths and problem‑solving skills.
