Abstract
This paper compares the counting and whole number knowledge and skills of primary
school children in Australia and Germany at the end of Grade 1 and Grade 2. Children s
learning was assessed using the Early Numeracy Interview and associated Growth Point
Framework. The findings highlight substantial differences between the two groups that vary
for the four whole number content domains that have been investigated. These variations
are likely due to different curriculum emphases in the two countries.
