Stage 2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 28
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that visual representation helps us to understand aspects of our world (chance and position).
Students are provided with 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.
Partitioned fractions – MAO-WM-01, MA2-PF-01
- Create fractional parts of a length using techniques other than repeated halving
- Model equivalent fraction as lengths
Geometric measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-GM-01
- Position: Interpret movement on a map
- Position: Locate positions on grid maps
Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-GM-01
- Position: Create and interpret grid maps
- Position: Use directional language and describe routes with grid maps
Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-02
2D shapes: Transform shapes by reflecting, translating and rotating
Data A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-DATA-01, MA2-DATA-02
- Collect discrete data
- Organise and display data using tables and graphs
- Interpret and compare data
Chance A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-CHAN-01
Identify possible outcomes from chance experiments
Chance B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-CHAN-01
- Describe the likelihood of outcomes of chance events
- Identify when events are affected by previous events
