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
