Stage 3, mathematics, Year A – Unit 08

This 2-week, Year A unit develops the big idea that visual representations help us understand aspects of our world (chance and position).

Students are provided opportunities to:

  • compare different position systems, including Cartesian coordinates, to define precise points on a coordinate plane
  • understand that probability can be represented numerically between zero to one
  • present probability outcomes and create random generators.

Represents quantity fractions A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-RQF-01

  • Recognise the role of the number 1 as representing the whole
  • Compare and order common unit fractions
  • Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator

Represents quantity fractions B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-RQF-01

  • Compare common fractions with related denominators
  • Build up to the whole from a given fractional part

Geometric measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-GM-01

Position: Explore the Cartesian coordinate system

Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-GM-01

Position: Use the 4 quadrants of the coordinate plane

Chance A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-CHAN-01

List outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and represent probabilities

Chance B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-CHAN-01

  • Compare observed frequencies of outcomes with expected results
  • Create random generators and describe probabilities using fractions
  • Conduct chance experiments with both small and large numbers of trials
