Mathematics Version 2.0 / Level 1 / Number

Content description

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive situations, including simple money transactions; represent the situations with diagrams, physical and virtual materials; use calculation strategies to solve the problem

Elaborations

modelling problems involving addition and subtraction presented in stories, using a Think Board to represent the problem, solving the problem using physical materials and explaining the connections between any materials used, the Think Board diagram and the numbers within the story
modelling simple money problems involving addition and subtraction using whole dollar amounts; for example, setting up a shop and role-playing practical problems of buying and selling goods, using addition and subtraction with play money and prices in whole dollar amounts; or solving the problem ‘I had $14 and was given $15 for my birthday’ using addition to answer the problem
modelling a variety of different additive situations to solve practical problems; for example, keeping track of the number of people on a bus as it stops to pick up and drop off passengers or the number of people entering a lift
