In this unit, 'Sometimes things move and change location', students are provided with opportunities to:

  • describes and compare the position of objects using positional language
  • give and follow directions
  • describe and identify the position of numbers
  • recognise and describe the element of chance in events and games.

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

  • Use counting sequences of ones with two-digit numbers and beyond
  • Represent the structure of groups of ten in whole numbers

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

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

  • Recognise and recall number bonds up to ten
  • Use flexible strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems

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