Stage 1, mathematics, Year B – Unit 32
This sample Stage 1 unit develops student knowledge, skills and understanding about repeating patterns, arrays and different ways to present and communicate about data.
In this unit, 'Patterns have something that repeats over and over and over again', students are provided with opportunities to:
- recognise, name, create and extend various patterns
- identify that repeating patterns have a core that repeats over and over and over again
- identify, describe, organise and compare a variety of arrays
- communicate their understanding and thinking as they create and explore various patterns and arrays
- select appropriate methods to display and interpret data.
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
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
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
