In this unit, 'Attributes can be used to sort objects', students will learn to:

  • combine and separate quantities
  • recognise and explain how a group of shapes has been sorted
  • describe two-dimensional spatial structures
  • organise objects into simple data displays and interpret these displays.

Representing whole number – MAO-WM-01, MAE-RWN-01, MAE-RWN-02

  • Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
  • Connect counting and numerals to quantities
  • Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
  • Identify the number before as ‘one less’ and the number after as ‘one more’ than a given number

Combining and separating quantities – MAO-WM-01, MAE-CSQ-01, MAE-CSQ-02

  • Identify part–whole relationships in numbers up to 10
  • Model additive relations and compare quantities

Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01

  • 2D shapes: Sort, describe and name familiar shapes
  • 2D shapes: Represent shapes

Data – MAO-WM-01, MAE-DATA-01

  • Respond to questions, collect information and discuss possible outcomes of activities
  • Organise objects into simple data displays and interpret the displays
