Number & Algebra
represent quantities and relations between quantities. Representing whole numbers emphasises the connections between numerals, words and quantities.
What is Representing whole numbers?
involves the representation and measure of spatial forms, such as shape and position. The units of measurement for length (cm, m) and position (concepts of position, location and movement) rely on a physical spatial structure.
What is Geometric measure?
Connecting length and fractions (linear-based), position.
What is Geometric measure?
Connecting multiplication and division, patterns and algebra, fractions (collection-based).
What is Forming groups?
Collecting, interpreting and representing data, introducing early concepts of probability.
What is Data?
Area and 2D shapes
What is 2D spatial measure?
combining and separating emphasise the part–whole nature of numbers (4 and 3 combine to make 7 and you can separate 7 into 4 and 3).
What is Combining and separating quantities?
Volume or the amount of space in a three-dimensional quantity. The concept of volume is often introduced using three-dimensional objects. The physical structure of the units is important in measuring volume (layers stacking, packing). For internal volume (capacity) the spatial structure of the unit is not important when using liquid.
What is 3D spatial measure?
Area or the amount of surface in a two-dimensional quantity. The concept of area is often introduced using two-dimensional shapes. The physical spatial structure of the units is important in measuring area (arrays).
What is 2D spatial measure?
Identifying and describing possible outcomes from everyday activities. Early emphasis is on understanding the notion and the use of everyday language associated with it.
What is Chance?
Time and mass: While mass and time are organised under the same substrand, it is not intended that teachers would be making connections across concepts in each of time and mass.
What is Non-spatial measure?
emphasises the importance of the creation of the group as a composite unit within multiplication and division.
What is Forming groups?
The units of measurement in mass (g, kg) and time (min, sec) do not rely on a physical spatial structure.
What is Non-spatial measure?
Volume and 3D objects
What is 3D spatial measure?
describes how the content is to be explored or developed – that is, the thinking and doing of mathematics.
