Stage 1, mathematics, Year A – Unit 12

This sample Stage 1 unit develops student knowledge, understanding, and skills in patterning.

In this unit, 'Patterns have something that repeats over and over and over again', students are provided with opportunities to:

  • understand that patterns repeat, and this repetition is referred to as the repeating core
  • understand that some patterns can increase (grow) or decrease (shrink) by the same amount in each subsequent term
  • develop an understanding of patterns in the place value system.

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 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
  • Use flexible strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems

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

  • Count in multiples using rhythmic and skip counting
  • Use skip counting patterns

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

Represent and explain multiplication as the combining of equal groups

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, MA1-DATA-02

  • Identify a question of interest and gather relevant data
  • Create displays of data and interpret them
