Stage 1, mathematics, Year A – Unit 13

This sample Stage 1 unit introduces students to making and using equal groups.

Students are provided with opportunities to:

  • model and use equal groups of objects to represent multiplication
  • use arrays to distinguish between the number of groups and the number in each group when describing collections of objects
  • solve multiplication and division problems using objects, diagrams, images, and actions.

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

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

  • Use advanced count-by-one strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems
  • Represent equality

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
  • Recognise and represent division

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

  • Represent and explain multiplication as the combining of equal groups
  • Represent multiplication and division problems

Non-spatial measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-NSM-01, MA1-NSM-02

Mass: Investigate mass using an equal-arm balance

Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-2DS-01, MA1-2DS-02

  • Area: Measure areas using uniform informal units
  • 2D shapes: Recognise and classify shapes using obvious features

Two-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-2DS-01, MA1-2DS-02

  • 2D shapes: Represent, combine and separate two-dimensional shapes
  • Area: Compare rectangular areas using uniform square units of an appropriate size in rows and columns

Three-dimensional spatial structure A– MAO-WM-01, MA1-3DS-01

  • 2D shapes: Represent, combine and separate two-dimensional shapes
  • Area: Compare rectangular areas using uniform square units of an appropriate size in rows and columns

Three-dimensional spatial structure B– MAO-WM-01, MA1-3DS-01

Volume: Compare volumes using uniform informal units
