Stage 3, mathematics, Year B – Unit 29
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.
Students are provided opportunities to:
- compare the properties of prisms and pyramids by visualising, naming and sketching nets of three-dimensional objects
- compare volumes of 2 or more objects by observing the change in water level when objects are submerged in a container of water
- recognise the equivalence of whole-number and decimal representations by measuring, comparing and ordering measurements of capacities of up to 3 decimal places.
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
