Multi-age 3–6, mathematics, Year B – Unit 11
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that the number system extends infinitely to very large and very small numbers.
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:
- recognise, represent, order and partition large numbers
- apply place value knowledge to recognise, name and order decimals
- make connections between benchmark fractions, decimals (Stage 2 and 3) and percentages (Stage 3)
- develop flexible methods of computation in multiplication and division.
