Mathematics

Proficiencies

Understanding includes connecting number calculations with counting sequences, partitioning and combining numbers flexibly, identifying and describing the relationship between addition and subtraction and between multiplication and division.

Fluency includes counting numbers in sequences readily, using informal units iteratively to compare measurements, using the language of chance to describe outcomes of familiar chance events and describing and comparing time durations.

Problem-Solving includes formulating problems from authentic situations, making models and using number sentences that represent problem situations, and matching transformations with their original shape.

Reasoning includes using known facts to derive strategies for unfamiliar calculations, comparing and contrasting related models of operations, and creating and interpreting simple representations of data.

Achievement Standard

By the end of the year students are expected to:

• count to and from 1000;
• recognise, model, represent and order numbers to 1000;
• partition numbers to 1000 using place value;
• apply place value to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to at least 1000 to solve problems;
• skip count forwards and backwards by 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s from any starting point;
• perform simple addition and subtraction calculations using a range of mental strategies;
• write and interpret word problems relating to addition and subtraction;
• represent multiplication and division by grouping into equal sets and solve practical problems;
• divide collections and shapes into halves, quarters and eighths;
• find equivalent values in collections of Australian notes and coins;
• identify the missing element in a number sequence;
• measure, compare and order objects based their perimeter, area, mass or capacity;
• tell time to the quarter hour and use a calendar to identify the date and the months included in seasons;
• identify the key features in simple maps and use them to describe a place or to give directions;
• describe the features of three-dimensional objects;
• order shapes and objects using informal units;
• draw two- dimensional shapes;
• explain the effects of one-step transformations;
• predict and reproduce a pattern based around half and quarter turns;
• collect, check, categorise and sort data;
• create and interpret simple displays of data using lists, tables and picture graphs;
• classify a list of everyday events according to how likely they are to happen and explain why.
