Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 02

Patterns have something that repeats over and over and over again. This unit develops knowledge, understanding, and skills of two-dimensional shapes and their attributes and properties.

In this unit, students will learn to:

  • sort collections using attributes and properties
  • recognise, name, and explore properties of two-dimensional shapes
  • investigate repeating shape patterns that grow, shrink, radiate, and are symmetrical
  • investigate repeating number patterns that grow and shrink.

  • Use the counting sequence of ones flexibly
  • Instantly name the number of objects within small collections
  • Recognise number patterns
  • Connect counting and numerals to quantities

Combining and separating quantities – MAO-WM-01, MAE-CSQ-01, MAE-CSQ-02
