Multi-age 3–6, mathematics, Year A – Unit 09

This 2-week, Year A unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.

Syllabus

Syllabus outcomes from Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) © NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales, 2024.

Students are provided opportunities to:

compare and describe features of three-dimensional objects by making and exploring models, sketches and diagrams
construct and deconstruct nets of three-dimensional objects
use formal units (litres and millilitres) to measure capacity and use scaled instruments to measure and compare capacities.
