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
