Background Information The learning needs of students are to be considered when determining the appropriate range of two- and three-digit numbers. Students should be encouraged to develop different counting strategies, eg if they are counting a large number of items, they can count out groups of ten and then count the groups. They need to learn correct rounding of numbers based on the convention of rounding up if the last digit is 5 or more and rounding down if the last digit is 4 or less. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: count forwards, count backwards, number before, number after, more than, less than, number line, number chart, digit, zero, ones, groups of ten, tens, groups of one hundred, hundreds, round to. The word 'and' is used when reading a number or writing it in words, eg five hundred and sixty three.

Develop confidence with number sequences from 100 by ones from any starting point • count forwards or backwards by 1s, from a given 3-digit number • identify the numbers before & after a given 3-digit number - describe the number before as 1 less than & the number after as 1 more than a given number Recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 1000 • represent 3-digit numbers using objects, pictures, words & numerals • use the terms more than & less than to compare numbers • arrange numbers of up to 3 digits in ascending order - use number lines & number charts beyond 100 to assist with counting & ordering - give reasons for placing a set of numbers in a particular order Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point, then moving to other sequences • count forwards & backwards by 2s, 3s & 5s from any starting point • count forwards & backwards by 10s, on & off the decade, with 2 & 3 digit numbers • identify number sequences on number charts Group, partition and rearrange collections of up to 1000 in hundreds, tens and ones to facilitate more efficient counting • apply an understanding of place value & the role of zero to read, write & order 3 digit numbers - form the largest & smallest number from 3 given digits • count & represent large sets of objects by systematically grouping in 10s & 100s - use models such as base 10 material, interlocking cubes & bundles of sticks to explain grouping • use & explain mental grouping to count & assist with estimating the number of items in large groups • use place value to partition 3 digit • state the place value of digits in numbers of up to 3 digits • partition three-digit numbers in non-standard forms • round numbers to the nearest 100 • estimate, to the nearest 100, the number of objects in a collection & check by counting Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value • use the face value of coins and notes to sort, order and count money - compare Australian coins and notes with those from other countries - determine whether there is enough money to buy a particular item • recognise that there are 100 cents in $1, 200 cents in $2, … • identify equivalent values in collections of coins and in collections of notes

1 Put in, take out Prepare a set of “start with” cards displaying the numerals from eleven to twenty on coloured card, and a set of “put in” cards displaying the numerals from zero to nine on a different coloured card. Students will also require a large container and a supply of items, such as counters or beads, and writing material. Alternatively, if the students are able to read “start with” and “put in”, both sets of cards can be on the same coloured cardboard with the instructions written on them. Ask the first student to take a “start with” card from the pack, read the numeral and put a corresponding number of items into the container. The student then takes a “put in” card from the other pack, reads the numeral and collects the corresponding number of additional items to add to the container. Encourage the students to say what the total will be before they check by counting on from the first group as each additional item is dropped into the container. Have the students record their actions as number sentences.

Bees Construct cardboard bees using the BLM attached. Write numerals, selected from the range 11 to 20, on the middle section of each bee. On the wings, display dot patterns which, when added together, equal the numeral displayed on the body. The stencil will need to be cut so that the wings and body are in separate pieces. Place the wings and body parts down on the floor in a random arrangement. Ask the students to select one of the bee bodies and to find the correct pair of wings which, when the dot patterns are added together, will equal the numeral written on the body.

Questioning techniques Encourage one to one count for students struggling and subitising techniques for others

Unit squares Provide the students with thirteen squares of paper. Each square should have one side coloured green and the other side red. Place the cards in a line in front of the students, with the red side face up. Indicate to the students that the squares represent the number sentence: 13 + 0 = 13. Turn one card over to reveal a green side and discuss the number sentence that is now represented by the green and red squares, that is, 12 + 1 = 13. Continue turning over additional cards to reveal the green side. Encourage the students to state the number combinations represented by the red and green squares. Vary the number of coloured squares used.

Questioning techniques Red and green squares

and add the total. The students then place a counter on the corresponding numeral on the number strip.

6

Number balances Prepare a stencil displaying a balance. The stencil should show one box resting on the left-hand side of the balance and two boxes stacked on the right-hand side of the balance. Prepare two sets of numeral cards, each set on a different coloured cardboard. The first set should contain the numerals 2 to 20 and the second set contain two cards for each numeral from 1 to 10. Have the students select a card from the first set and place it onto the left-hand side of the balance. Students then find two numeral cards from the second set which, when added together, total the numeral on the left side. The students then place the cards on the right side of the balance.

7

Domino addition Prepare domino cards which resemble commercially produced dominoes, or use traditional dominoes for this activity. Provide the students with a supply of the domino cards, or dominoes, and writing material. Deal five dominoes to each student in the group. Ask the students to record both dot patterns displayed on the dominoes as addition number sentences.

Finding Money totals With Notes and Coins Using a variety of objects in the room, label them with dollar and cents price tags. Using play money or attached money print outs, have students select and item and make the correct amount in the smallest number of coins and notes. When they are satisfied that they have the correct amount they check with the teacher before selecting another object.

Use a buddy system for students that are struggling with combining notes and coins.

SUBSTRAND: Multiplication and Division 2 KEY CONSIDERATIONS OVERVIEW OUTCOMES A student: › describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-1WM › uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems MA1-2WM › supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained MA1-3WM › uses a range of mental strategies and concrete materials for multiplication and division MA1-6NA

Background Information There are two forms of division: Sharing (partitive) – How many in each group? eg 'If 12 marbles are shared between three students, how many does each get?' Grouping (quotitive) – How many groups are there? eg 'If I have 12 marbles and each child is to get four, how many children will get marbles?' This form of division relates to repeated subtraction, 12 – 4 – 4 – 4 = 0, so three children will get four marbles each. After students have divided a quantity into equal groups (eg they have divided 12 into groups of four), the process can be reversed by combining the groups, thus linking multiplication and division. When sharing a collection of objects into two, four or eight groups, students may describe the number of objects in each group as being one-half, one-quarter or one-eighth, respectively, of the whole collection. An array is one of several different arrangements that can be used to model multiplicative situations involving whole numbers. It is made by arranging a set of objects, such as counters, into columns and rows. Each column must contain the same number of objects as the other columns, and each row must contain the same number of objects as the other rows. Formal writing of number sentences for multiplication and division, including the use of the symbols × and ÷, is not introduced until Stage 2. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: add, take away, group, row, column, array, number of rows, number of columns, number in each row, number in each column, total, equal, is the same as, shared between, shared equally, part left over, empty number line, number chart. The term 'row' refers to a horizontal grouping, and the term 'column' refers to a vertical grouping. Refer also to language in Stage 1 Multiplication and Division 1.

Recognise & represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups & arrays (ACMNA031) • model multiplication as repeated addition find the total number of objects by placing them into equal-sized groups& using repeated addition use empty number lines & number charts to record repeated

situations • recognise when items have been arranged into groups • use concrete materials to model multiplication as equal 'groups' & by forming an array of equal 'rows' or equal 'columns' describe collections as groups of, rows of & columns of determine & distinguish between the number of rows/columns

& the number in each row/column when describing collections recognise practical examples of arrays, such as seedling trays

or vegetable gardens • model the commutative property of multiplication Represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations (ACMNA032) • model division by sharing a collection of objects equally into a given number of groups, & by sharing equally into a given number of rows or columns in an array describe the part left over when a collection cannot be shared equally into a given number of groups/ rows/ columns • model division by sharing a collection of objects into groups of a given size, & by arranging it into rows or columns of a given size in an array describe the part left over when a collection cannot be

distributed equally using the given group/row/column size • model division as repeated subtraction use an empty number line to record repeated subtraction explore the use of repeated subtraction to share in practical

Background Information In Stage 1, fractions are used in two different ways: to describe equal parts of a whole, and to describe equal parts of a collection of objects. Fractions refer to the relationship of the equal parts to the whole unit. When using collections to model fractions, it is important that students appreciate the collection as being a 'whole' and the resulting groups as being 'parts of a whole'. It should be noted that the size of the resulting fraction will depend on the size of the original whole or collection of objects. It is not necessary for students to distinguish between the roles of the numerator and the denominator in Stage 1. They

may use the symbol as an entity to mean 'one-half' or 'a

half', and similarly use to mean 'one-quarter' or 'a quarter'.

Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: whole, part, equal parts, half, quarter, eighth, one-half, one-quarter, one-eighth, halve (verb). In Stage 1, the term 'three-quarters' may be used to name the remaining parts after one-quarter has been identified.

Recognise and interpret common uses of halves, quarters and eighths of shapes and collections (ACMNA033) • use concrete materials to model a half, a quarter or an eighth of a whole object, create quarters by halving one-half, eg 'I halved my

paper then halved it again and now I have quarters' describe the equal parts of a whole object, eg 'I folded

my paper into eight equal parts and now I have eighths'

discuss why is less than , eg if a cake is shared among

eight people, the slices are smaller than if the cake is shared among four people

• recognise that fractions refer to equal parts of a whole, eg all four quarters of an object are the same size visualise fractions that are equal parts of a whole, eg

'Imagine where you would cut the rectangle before cutting it' (Problem Solving)

• recognise when objects and shapes have been shared into halves, quarters or eighths • record equal parts of whole objects and shapes, and the relationship of the parts to the whole, using pictures and the

fraction notation for half ( ), quarter ( ) and eighth( )

• use concrete materials to model a half ( ), a quarter ( ) or

an eighth( ) of a collection

describe equal parts of a collection of objects, eg 'I have quarters because the four parts have the same number of counters' (Communicating)

• recognise when a collection has been shared into halves

( ), quarters ( ) or eighths ( )

• record equal parts of a collection, and the relationship of the parts to the whole, using pictures and the fraction notation for half , quarter and eighth • use fraction language in a variety of everyday contexts, eg the half-hour, one-quarter of the class

Chocolate Bar Fractions Start by passing out a paper chocolate bar to everyone that has 12 parts. Tell the students that a friend has come over and they need to share the chocolate bar so that each of them gets an equal share. Talk about how the chocolate bar is a whole and when it is cut it in half, they see that 6 pieces=1 half. Now two more friends have arrived and the chocolate bar needs to be shared again. Discuss how this is possible and explain that when we divide a half evenly, we get a quarter. Have students glue the chocolate bar into their books labeling a whole, a half and a quarter. They should write number sentences to explain how many pieces of chocolate each person gets when it is shared in half and how many pieces each person gets when it is shared in quarters.

Sharing Halves In pairs provide students with at least 20 jelly beans that they must share equally between themselves, so that they get half the jelly beans each. Have students discuss how they will go about sharing the jelly beans and decide on a method together, before sharing them. Students should record how they shared the jelly beans (ie, 1 at a time, 2 at time etc) and report back to the class about how they went about sharing half each. Teacher draws the student’s attention to the two piles of jelly beans that each pair has and makes links between arrays in sharing (division) and equal parts in fractions (halves). Students write number sentences to illustrate this link.

Sharing Eighths In groups of 8 (if 8 is not possible use toys to represent extra people required) provide students with at least 24 smarties that they must share equally between themselves, so that they get an eighth of the jelly smarties each. Have students discuss how they will go about sharing the smarties and decide on a method together, before sharing them. Students should record how they shared the smarties (ie, 1 at a time, 2 at time etc) and report back to the class about how they went about sharing half each. Teacher draws the student’s attention to the eight piles of smarties that each pair has and makes links between arrays in sharing (division) and equal parts in fractions (eighths). Discuss also how many eighths make a quarter and how many quarters make a whole.

SUBSTRAND: Mass 2 KEY CONSIDERATIONS OVERVIEW OUTCOMES A student: › describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-1WM › uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems MA1-2WM › supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained MA1-3WM › measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units MA1-12MG

Background Information In Stage 1, measuring mass using informal units enables students to develop some key understandings of measurement. These include: › repeatedly using a unit as a measuring device › selecting an appropriate unit for a specific task › appreciating that a common informal unit is necessary for comparing the masses of objects › understanding that some units are unsatisfactory because they are not uniform, eg pebbles. Students should appreciate that the pan balance has two functions: comparing the masses of two objects and measuring the mass of an object by using a unit repeatedly as a measuring device. When students realise that changing the shape of an object does not alter its mass, they are said to conserve the property of mass. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: mass, heavier, lighter, about the same as, pan balance, (level) balance, measure, estimate. 'Hefting' is testing the weight of an object by lifting and balancing it. Where possible, students can compare the weights of two objects by using their bodies to balance each object, eg holding one object in each hand.

Refer also to language in Mass 1.

Compare the masses of objects using balance scales (ACMMG038) • compare and order the masses of two or more objects by hefting and check using a pan balance • recognise that mass is conserved, eg the mass of a lump of plasticine remains constant regardless of the shape it is moulded into or whether it is divided up into smaller pieces • use uniform informal units to measure the mass of an object by counting the number of units needed to obtain a level balance on a pan balance select an appropriate uniform informal unit to measure

the mass of an object and justify the choice (Problem Solving)

explain the relationship between the mass of a unit and the number of units needed, eg more toothpicks than pop sticks will be needed to balance the object (Communicating, Reasoning)

• record masses by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used • compare two or more objects according to their masses using appropriate uniform informal units • record comparisons of mass informally using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal units used • find differences in mass by measuring and comparing, eg 'The pencil has a mass equal to three blocks and a pair of plastic scissors has a mass of six blocks, so the scissors are three blocks heavier than the pencil' predict whether the number of units will be more or less

when a different unit is used, eg 'I will need more pop sticks than blocks as the pop sticks are lighter than the blocks' (Reasoning)

solve problems involving mass (Problem Solving) • estimate mass by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used and check by measuring

Background Information Making models and drawing simple sketches of their models is the focus for students in Stage 1. Students usually concentrate on the relative positions of objects in their sketches. Representing the relative size of objects is difficult and will be refined over time, leading to the development of scale drawings in later stages. Accepting students' representations in models and sketches is important. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following

language: position, location, map, path.

Interpret simple maps of familiar locations and identify the relative positions of key features (ACMMG044) • interpret simple maps by identifying objects in different locations, eg find a classroom on a school plan map • describe the positions of objects in models, photographs and drawings give reasons when answering questions about the

positions of objects (Communicating, Reasoning) • make simple models from memory, photographs, drawings or descriptions, eg students make a model of their classroom use knowledge of positions in real-world contexts to re-

create models (Communicating) • draw a sketch of a simple model • use drawings to represent the positions of objects along a path

SUBSTRAND: 3D 2 KEY CONSIDERATIONS OVERVIEW OUTCOMES A student: › describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-1WM › sorts, describes, represents and recognises familiar three-dimensional objects, including cones, cubes, cylinders, spheres and prisms MA1-14MG

Background Information In Stage 1, students begin to explore three-dimensional objects in greater detail. They continue to describe the objects using their own language and are introduced to some formal language. Developing and retaining mental images of objects is an important skill for these students. Manipulation of a variety of real three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional shapes in the classroom, the playground and outside the school is crucial to the development of appropriate levels of language and representation. A cube is a special prism in which all faces are squares. In Stage 1, students do not need to be made aware of this classification. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: object, shape, two dimensional shape (2D shape), three-dimensional object (3D object), cone, cube, cylinder, sphere, prism, surface, flat surface, curved surface, face, edge, vertex (vertices). The term 'vertex' (plural: vertices) refers to the point where three or more faces of a three dimensional object meet (or where two straight sides of a two-dimensional shape meet). In geometry, the term 'edge' refers to the interval (straight line) formed where two faces of a three-dimensional object meet. Refer also to language in Three-Dimensional Space 1.

Describe the features of three-dimensional objects (ACMMG043) • use the terms 'flat surface', 'curved surface', 'face', 'edge' and 'vertex' appropriately when describing three-dimensional objects describe the number of flat surfaces, curved surfaces,

faces, edges and vertices of three-dimensional objects using materials, pictures and actions, eg 'A cylinder has two flat surfaces, one curved surface, no faces, no edges and no vertices', 'This prism has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices' (Communicating)

• distinguish between objects, which are 'three-dimensional' (3D), and shapes, which are 'two-dimensional' (2D), and describe the differences informally, eg 'This is a two dimensional shape because it is flat' relate the terms 'two-dimensional' and 'three-

dimensional' to their use in everyday situations, eg a photograph is two-dimensional and a sculpture is three-dimensional (Communicating, Reasoning)

• recognise that flat surfaces of three-dimensional objects are two-dimensional shapes and name the shapes of these surfaces • sort three-dimensional objects according to particular attributes, eg the shape of the surfaces explain the attribute or multiple attributes used when

sorting three-dimensional objects (Communicating, Reasoning)

• represent three-dimensional objects, including landmarks, by making simple models or by drawing or painting choose a variety of materials to represent three-

dimensional objects, including digital technologies (Communicating)

explain or demonstrate how a simple model was made (Communicating, Reasoning)

2D, 3D Shape Revision Provide students with a selection of 2D and 3D shapes (in a pile as one group) and tell them that you want the shapes sorted into two groups. When the sorting is complete, discuss the way in which they were sorted. If they have not been sorted as 2D and 3D shapes, suggest this sorting method and ask the students to identify the name given to each of the groups. Go through the 2D and 3D shapes one at a time, having students name them. Create a classroom chart for each type of shape, listing the properties of each type.

Questioning techniques Extension: students create their own charts

2D and 3D shapes, chart paper, textas

2D Shapes In 3D Solids In small groups provide students with a set of 3D solids, and chart paper. Have students trace around the different shape faces of the solid and state how many of each makes up each 3D shape. Have students make generalisations about how the names of the faces help to identify some 3D shapes.

SUBSTRAND: Chance 2 KEY CONSIDERATIONS OVERVIEW OUTCOMES A student: › describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-1WM › recognises and describes the element of chance in everyday events MA1-18SP

Background Information Students should be encouraged to recognise that, because of the element of chance, their predictions will not always be proven true. When discussing certainty, there are two extremes: events that are certain to happen and those that are certain not to happen. Words such as 'might', 'may' and 'possible' are used to describe events between these two extremes. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: will happen, might happen, won't happen,

probably.

Identify practical activities and everyday events that involve chance (ACMSP047) • recognise and describe the element of chance in familiar activities and events, eg 'I might play with my friend after school' predict what might occur during the next lesson or in the

near future, eg 'How many people might come to your party?', 'How likely is it to rain if there are no clouds in the sky?' (Communicating, Reasoning)

Describe outcomes as 'likely' or 'unlikely' and identify some events as 'certain' or 'impossible' (ACMSP047) • describe possible outcomes in everyday activities and events as being 'likely' or 'unlikely' to happen • compare familiar activities and events and describe them as being 'likely' or 'unlikely' to happen • identify and distinguish between 'possible' and 'impossible' events describe familiar events as being 'possible' or

'impossible', eg 'It is possible that it will rain today', 'It is impossible to roll a standard six-sided die and get a 7' (Communicating)

• identify and distinguish between 'certain' and 'uncertain' events describe familiar situations as being certain or uncertain,

eg 'It is uncertain what the weather will be like tomorrow', 'It is certain that tomorrow is Saturday' (Communicating)

School Sports Day Students distinguish between things that are impossible and those that might happen using a familiar school setting. Introduce the problem by discussing the school sports day and what the students know about this day Ensure the students have been introduced to the terms ‘might happen’ and ‘impossible’. Provide students with a set of different scenarios for the sports day. Students use the events that might happen to make a further distinction between those events that are ‘likely’ and those that are ‘unlikely’ and sort the scenarios into groups under these two headings. Possible questions to illicit response may include: - Is this something that is possible or is there no way that this would ever happen? - Look at the situations that you have decided are possible. Which ones are unlikely to happen? This means that there is almost no chance of it ever happening.

Support: Students may need assistance to distinguish between what is impossible & what might happen. Provide what if scenarios to help them decide. Extension: Ask students to make up events that are likely, unlikely or impossible for other familiar situations & explain why they have put them in these categories.

Hands-on Activities and Games 1 − Give students some pictures of everyday events that could happen. Ask them to change the picture to turn it into something impossible. − Use spinners and dice to play chance games where students compare trials. − Ask students to search through magazines to find pictures of possible and impossible events. Students could then order the possible events to show how likely they are.

Support: Students may need help to realise that events in life are rarely black and white (certain or impossible), that there are many different possibilities, some of which are more likely than others.

Is It Fair? Asks students to compare two possible spinners and work out which one is more “fair”. Students should realise that in order to be “fair” each colour should have an even share of the spinner. Discuss the use of ordered lists or other strategies to ensure they have listed all of the possible outcomes.

Support: Students may need help to understand the impact of the size of each piece on the outcome of the game. Extension: Ask students to

Eg. Asks students to design a spinner for which the outcomes are not fair. They need to be able to decide which colour will need the biggest and smallest pieces, and to draw lines on the spinner to make the spinner represent this size. Ask students to justify their solution.

order the likelihoods from their spinners and decide which colours they would choose to have.

Holiday Fun Students are to select a location for a holiday (eg the beach, the snow fields, etc). Have the students write and draw something that will happen, might happen, won't happen on their holiday. Have students think about what they would need to take on holidays. Have them draw and label five thinks that they are likely to need and five things that they are unlikely to need.
