  Understand and control additional elements of Auslan grammar, such as the use of non-manual features for negation or conditional forms, and understand how signers use constructed action and depicting signs in composite utterances

  Elaborations

  • recognising the nature and function of word classes and understanding that the context of the sign is important and Auslan signs will not always have the same word class as an English word, for example, adjectives can act like verbs in Auslan
  • recognising that signers may include linguistic and gestural elements in a clause, that is, signers can tell, show or do both simultaneously

• VC2M8N02

  establish and apply the exponent laws with positive integer exponents and the zero exponent, using exponent notation with numbers

  Elaborations

  • recognising the connection between exponent form and expanded form with the exponent laws of product of powers rule, quotient of powers rule, and power of a power rule, for example, 23×22 can be represented as 2×2×2×2×2=25 , and connecting the result to the addition of exponents
  • applying the exponent laws of the product of powers rule, quotient of powers rule, power of a power rule and zero exponent individually and in combination; for example, using exponents to determine the effect on the volume of a 2 centimetre cube when the cube is enlarged to a 6 centimetre cube, 6323= 23×3323=33, so the volume is increased by a factor of 27
  • using digital tools to systematically explore the application of the exponent laws; observing that the bases need to be the same
  • using examples such as 3434=1, and 34-4=30 to illustrate the necessity that for any non-zero natural number n,  n0=1
