Stage 1, mathematics, Year A – Unit 10

This sample Stage 1 unit explores the big idea behind position and chance.

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

Use counting sequences of ones and tens flexibly

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

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

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

Represent and explain multiplication as the combining of equal groups

Geometric measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-GM-01, MA1-GM-02

  • Position: Follow directions to familiar locations
  • Length: Measure the lengths of objects using uniform informal units

Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-GM-01

Position: Explore simple maps of familiar locations

Chance A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-CHAN-01

Identify and describe possible outcomes

Chance B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-CHAN-01

Identify and describe activities that involve chance
