Mathematics

Proficiencies

Understanding includes connecting names, numerals and quantities, and partitioning numbers in various ways.

Fluency includes counting number in sequences readily forward and backwards, locating numbers on a line, and naming the days of the week.

Problem-Solving includes using materials to model authentic problems, giving and receiving directions to unfamiliar places, and using familiar counting sequences to solve unfamiliar problems and discussing the reasonableness of the answer.

Reasoning includes explaining direct and indirect comparisons of length using uniform informal units, justifying representations of data, and explaining patterns that have been created.

Achievement Standard

By the end of the year students are expected to:

• count to and from 120 and locate numbers on a number line;
• recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 120;
• partition numbers to 120 using place value;
• skip count forwards and backwards by 2s, 5s and 10s starting at zero;
• investigate, identify and continue simple patterns involving numbers to 120;
• represent and solve simple additions and subtractions using strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts;
• recognise and represent multiplication as “groups of”;
• split and object into two equal pieces and describe how the pieces are equal;
• recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value;
• measure and compare the lengths of objects using uniform informal units;
• heft to compare the masses of pairs of objects using suitable language;
• measure the capacity of containers using uniform material;
• tell time and represent the time to the half hour (analogue and digital clocks);
• explain time durations;
• describe some geometric features of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects;
• use common language of distance, direction and turns to guide others around familiar locations;
• classify outcomes of simple familiar events;
• collect data by asking questions and create simple data displays where one object represents one data value;
• discuss and describe data displays;
• using appropriate language, classify outcomes of simple familiar events involving chance.
