Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 08

Explore the big idea that 'what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement' 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:
