Stage 2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 08

This Year A unit introduces the big idea that visual representations help understand aspects of our world for chance and position.

Syllabus

Syllabus outcomes from Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) © NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales, 2024.

In this 2-week unit students are provided opportunities to:

use directional language to interpret and locate positions on a grid map while describing routes between points
predict and describe possible outcomes from chance experiments
use visualisation, language and multiple representations of position and chance concepts.
