Mathematics – Multi-age – Year B – Unit 10

This unit develops understanding and skills of position.

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:

  • 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
  • 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
