Mathematics – Multi-age – Year A – Unit 9
Smaller numbers can be found hiding in understanding, and skills of combining and separating quantities.
Mathematics K-2 Syllabus © 2021 NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales.
In this unit students will learn to:
- represent combining situations in different ways through the use of gesture, enactment, drawings, numbers and words
- use symbols to describe mathematical quantities, actions, and relationships in efficient ways
- understand that the order in which 2 quantities are combined does not change the result
- recognise that when 2 collections have the same total, they are described as ‘equivalent in value’. Words such as ‘equal’, ‘equivalent’, and ‘is the same as’ can also be used
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
