Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 10
This unit develops understanding and skills of position.
In this unit, 'Sometimes things move and change location', students will learn to:
- describe their position and movement
- give and follow simple directions to position themselves or objects
- interpret simple maps by identifying objects in different locations
- create a path from one location to another.
Representing whole numbers – 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
Record grouping and sharing
Geometric measure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-GM-01, MAE-GM-02, MAE-GM-03
- Position: Describe position and movement of oneself
- Length: Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer
Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01, MAE-2DS-02
2D shapes: Sort, describe and name familiar shapes
Representing whole numbers – MAO-WM-01, MA1-RWN-01, MA1-RWN-02
