Mathematics – Multi-age – Year A – Unit 1

Collections of ten are really useful – develops student knowledge, understanding, and skills of place value and working with collections of ten for mathematical thinking.

In this unit 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.
Representing whole numbers A – 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
  • Represent the structure of groups of ten in whole numbers
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
  • Recognise and recall number bonds up to ten
  • Use flexible strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems
  • Represent equality
  • Form multiples of ten when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers
  • Use knowledge of equality to solve related problems
Two-dimensional spatial structure – MAO-WM-01, MAE-2DS-01, MAE-2DS-02
  • 2D shapes: Sort, describe and name familiar shapes
