• VCMSP237

  Pose and refine questions to collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey

  Elaborations

  • narrowing or broadening a question to be posed for an observation or survey, for example, ‘which of these ice cream flavours – vanilla or chocolate?’ to ‘do you like ice cream, if yes what is your favourite flavour?’

• VCMMG227

  Measure, calculate and compare elapsed time

  Elaborations

  • recognising that some units of time are better suited for some tasks than others, for example, seconds rather than minutes to measure the duration of a short event
  • using a stopwatch to measure and compare the duration of a series of events, for example, how long does it take to jump a skipping rope 100 times
  • using the starting and finishing times to calculate and compare elapsed time, for example, the time taken to walk to school compared to the time taken to ride to school

• VCMMG229

  Investigate the effect of combinations of transformations on simple and composite shapes, including creating tessellations, with and without the use of digital technologies

  Elaborations

  • understanding which attributes of a shape remain the same or change under the effects of transformations such as size, shape or orientation
  • creating tessellations with simple shapes or simple composite shapes

• VCMSP235

  Construct, interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables

  Elaborations

  • comparing different student-generated diagrams, tables and graphs, describing their similarities and differences and commenting on the usefulness of each representation for interpreting the data
  • understanding that data can be represented in different ways, sometimes with one symbol representing more than one piece of data, and that it is important to read all information about a representation before making judgments

• VCMMG228

  Construct simple prisms and pyramids

  Elaborations

  • considering the history and significance of pyramids from a range of cultural perspectives including those structures found in China, Korea and Indonesia
  • constructing prisms and pyramids from nets, and skeletal models

• Mathematics: Level 6 achievement standards

  Number and Algebra

  Students recognise the properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers and determine sets of these numbers. They solve problems that involve all four operations with whole numbers and describe the use of integers in everyday contexts. Students locate fractions and...

• VCMNA212

  Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same or related denominators

  Elaborations

  • understanding the processes for adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators and fractions as an operator, in preparation for calculating with all fractions
  • solving realistic additive (addition and subtraction) problems involving fractions to develop understanding of equivalent fractions and the use of fractions as operators
  • modelling and solving additive problems involving fractions by using methods such as jumps on a number line, or by making diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes

• VCMNA211

  Compare fractions with related denominators and locate and represent them on a number line

  Elaborations

  • demonstrating equivalence between fractions using drawings and models

• VCMMG230

  Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system using all four quadrants

  Elaborations

  • understanding that the Cartesian plane provides a graphical or visual way of describing location

• VCMNA208

  Identify and describe properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers

  Elaborations

  • understanding that some numbers have special properties and that these properties can be used to solve problems
  • representing composite numbers as a product of their prime factors and using this form to simplify calculations by cancelling common primes
  • understanding that if a number is divisible by a composite number then it is also divisible by the prime factors of that number.
