Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 06

Explore the big idea that 'equal means equivalent' in this two-week, multi-age sample unit.

Syllabus

Syllabus outcomes and content descriptors from the 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 with opportunities to:

  • use balance to explore equivalence
  • combine numbers that bond to form 20
  • identify the equal sign and its purpose.
