Mathematics – 3–6 – Multi-age – Year B – Unit 1
This unit develops the big idea that our number system extends infinitely to very large and very small numbers.
Mathematics K–10 Syllabus © 2023 NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales.
Students are provided with opportunities to:
- partition, represent and order larger numbers
- apply place value to recognise, regroup and order whole and decimal numbers
- explore the link between multiplicative structures and place value to solve problems.
