In this unit, students will learn to:

  • understand that patterns have an element of repetition, meaning something repeats over and over and over again
  • recognise that the repeating element in a pattern can be called the repeating core
  • use the pattern core to create patterns, extend the patterns of others, and identify the missing elements within patterns
  • develop an understanding that number bonds and dice structures are forms of mathematical patterns we trust
  • understand that some patterns grow (the pattern increases by the same amount in each subsequent term) and shrink (the pattern decreases by the same amount in each subsequent term)
  • identify, describe, and create patterns when counting forwards or backwards in twos, fives, and tens
  • use objects, pictures, words, and numbers to represent and prove ideas
  • apply knowledge of counting sequences to solve problems involving equal groups.

Representing whole numbers A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-RWN-01, MA1-RWN-02

  • Use counting sequences of ones with two-digit numbers and beyond
  • Continue and create number patterns
  • Represent numbers on a line
  • Represent the structure of groups of ten in whole numbers

Representing whole numbers B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-RWN-01, MA1-RWN-02

  • Use counting sequences of ones and tens flexibly
  • Form, regroup, and rename three-digit numbers

Combining and separating quantities A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-CSQ-01

  • Use advanced count-by-one strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems
  • Recognise and recall number bonds up to ten

Combining and separating quantities B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-CSQ-01

  • Represent and reason about additive strategies
  • Use knowledge of equality to solve related problems

Forming groups A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-FG-01

  • Count in multiples using rhythmic and skip counting
  • Use skip-counting patterns
  • Model and use equal groups of objects to represent multiplication

Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-2DS-01

2D shapes: Recognise and classify shapes using obvious features

Two-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-2DS-01

Represent, combine and separate two-dimensional shapes

Data A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-DATA-01, MA1-DATA-02

  • Ask questions and gather data
  • Represent data with objects and drawings and describe the displays

Data B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-DATA-01

Create displays of data and interpret them
