In this unit – 'A fraction (like one half) can mean half of a measure or half of a collection', students are provided opportunities to:
- combine and separate quantities to identify the smaller parts that are found within a total quantity
- compare quantities and identify the difference between quantities or equal groups
- distribute items from a collection into smaller groups and recognise whether the groups are equal or not.
Representing whole number – MAO-WM-01, MAE-RWN-01, MAE-RWN-02
- Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
- Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
- Recognise number patterns
- Connect counting and numerals to quantities
Combining and separating quantities – MAO-WM-01, MAE-CSQ-01, MAE-CSQ-02
- Model additive relations and compare quantities
- Identify part–whole relationships in numbers up to 10
Forming groups – MAO-WM-01, MAE-FG-01, MAE-FG-02
- Investigate and form equal groups by sharing
- Record grouping and sharing
