Students are provided opportunities to:
- describe and compare features of two-dimensional shapes
- explore transformations through combining and splitting two-dimensional shapes
- learn how to estimate and find area using standard units of measurement.
Multiplicative relations A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-MR-01
- Generate and describe patterns
- Use arrays to establish multiplication facts from multiples of 2 and 4, 5 and 10
- Recall multiplication facts of 2 and 4, 5 and 10 and related division facts
Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-01, MA2-2DS-02, MA2-2DS-03
- 2D shapes: Compare and describe features of two-dimensional shapes
- 2D shapes: Transform shapes by reflecting, translating and rotating
- Area: Use square centimetres to measure and estimate the areas of rectangles
