Stage 3, mathematics, Year A – Unit 09
This 2-week, Year A unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.
Students are provided opportunities to:
- name particular prisms and pyramids using properties of three-dimensional objects by making and exploring models, sketches and diagrams
- use decimal representations to record volume using formal units of litres and millilitres
- explore displacement to investigate volumes of irregular solids.
Represents numbers A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-RN-02
- Decimals and percentages: Recognise that the place value system can be extended beyond hundredths
- Decimals and percentages: Compare, order and represent decimals
Three-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-3DS-01, MA3-3DS-02
- 3D objects: Compare, describe and name prisms and pyramids
- 3D objects: Connect three-dimensional objects with two-dimensional representations
- Volume: Choose appropriate units of measurement for capacity
- Volume: Use displacement to investigate volumes of irregular solids
- Volume: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
Three-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-3DS-01
3D objects: Construct prisms and pyramids
