Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 01
Develop students' knowledge, understanding, and skills of place value and working with collections of ten for mathematical thinking in this two-week, multi-age sample unit.
Syllabus
Syllabus outcomes and content descriptors 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.
In this unit, 'Collections of ten are really useful', students will learn to:
- recognise, classify, and sort shapes using obvious features
- visualise, play with, and investigate the base 10 numerical system
- ask questions, gather, and represent data with objects and drawings.
