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
