Stage 1, mathematics, Year B – Unit 28
This sample Stage 1 unit continues to explore the big idea 'what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement'.
Students are provided with opportunities to:
- explore units of measurement
- describe lengths of objects
- describe fractions.
Representing whole numbers A and B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-RWN-01, MA1-RWN-02
- Continue and create number patterns
- Represent numbers on a line
- Represent the structure of groups of ten in whole numbers
- Use counting sequences of ones and tens flexibly
- Form, regroup and rename three-digit numbers
Combining and separating quantities – 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
Forming groups A and B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-FG-01
- Count in multiples using rhythmic and skip counting
- Recognise and represent division
- Represent and explain multiplication as the combining of equal groups
- Model doubling and halving with fractions
Geometric Measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA1-GM-01, MA1-GM-02, MA1-GM-03
- Length: Measure the lengths of objects using appropriate uniform informal units
- Length: Subdivides the lengths to find halves and quarters
- Length: Compare and order lengths using uniform informal units
Two-dimensional spatial structure A and B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-2DS-01, MA1-2DS-02
- Area: Measure areas using uniform informal units
- 2D shapes: Identify and describe the orientation of shapes using quarter turns
- Area: Compare rectangular areas using uniform square units of an appropriate size in rows and columns
Three-dimensional spatial structure A and B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-3DS-01, MA1-3DS-02
- Volume: Measure and compare the internal volumes (capacities) of containers by filling
- Volume: Measure the internal volume (capacity) of containers by packing
- Volume: Construct volume using cubes
- Volume: Compare containers based on internal volume (capacity) by filling and packing
- Volume: Compare volumes by using uniform informal units
Non-spatial measure A and B – MAO-WM-01, MA1-NSM-01, MA1-NSM-02
- Time: Tell time to the half-hour
- Time: Describe duration using units of time
- Time: Tell time to the quarter hour using the language of ‘past’ and ‘to’
