  collect, sort and compare data represented by objects and images in response to given investigative questions that have only 2 outcomes and relate to familiar situations

  Elaborations

  • using data displays to answer simple questions such as ‘How many students answered “yes” to having pets?’
  • collecting and deciding how to organise data to answer yes/no questions; for example, in relation to the question ‘Do more people in our class today have shoes with laces than without?’, explaining that lining up and matching shoes with and without laces one-to-one will answer the question
  • collecting data through everyday activities or events and sorting the collected data; for example, sorting toys into categories such as ‘toys that move’ and ‘toys that don’t move’
  • creating classroom charts and rosters using stickers to represent data; and comparing and interpreting the representations
  • investigating statistical contexts after reading a story; for example, after reading The Waterhole by Graeme Base, asking and responding to questions like ‘What different animals did you see?’, ‘How many different types of animals were there?’ or ‘Were there more tigers or kangaroos?’
  • exploring what and how information from the environment is collected and used by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to predict weather events

• VC2MFN03

  quantify and compare collections to at least 20 using counting and explain or demonstrate reasoning

  Elaborations

  • establishing the language and process of counting, and understanding that each object must be counted only once, that the arrangement of objects does not affect how many there are and that the last number counted answers the question of ‘How many?’; for example, saying numbers in sequence while playing and performing actions
  • using counting to compare the size of 2 or more collections of like items to justify which collection contains more or fewer items
  • using counting and one-to-one correspondence to quantify the number of items required for a purpose; for example, when asked to collect enough scissors for each member of their group to have a pair, counting each member and using the total count to know how many to collect
  • discussing how different cultures may have alternative ways of representing the count; for example, discussing how some people of the Asia region use an abacus or Chinese hand gestures
  • using body-tallying that involves body parts and one-to-one correspondence from counting systems of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to count to 20

• VC2MFSP01

  sort, name and create familiar shapes; recognise and describe familiar shapes within objects in the environment, giving reasons

  Elaborations

  • sorting a collection of shapes into groups based on different features, such as the number of sides, colour or size, and describing how they have been sorted
  • creating a picture using a variety of shapes and a range of materials, including objects to trace around, describing the shapes they have created or used and sharing why they chose each shape in their picture
  • creating familiar shapes using groups of people; for example, holding hands and creating a circle
  • recognising and naming shapes that are (close to) rectangles, squares, triangles and circles in component parts of everyday items, for example, on bicycles, toy vehicles or kitchen pantry items
  • describing and naming shapes within objects that can be observed on Country/Place, recreating and sorting into groups based on their shape

• VC2MFA01

  follow a short sequence of instructions; recognise, copy, continue and create repeating patterns represented in different ways

  Elaborations

  • carrying out a specified sequence of actions to move an object from one location to another
  • playing a simple rule-based game, moving a specified number of places according to the result on a dice in a chance-based game
  • recognising, copying and describing different repeating patterns using materials, shapes, sounds and movements during activities and play; for example, making a bead necklace and describing the pattern they have created, such as ‘red, blue, green, red, blue, green, red, blue, green’, or copying repeating patterns of drumbeats or dance moves during music activities
  • recognising repeating patterns used at home and in daily activities to help make tasks easier or to solve problems; for example, setting the table to eat
  • recognising and describing repeating patterns that can be observed on Country/Place and in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork, cultural performances and material cultures, for example, shell and seed necklaces, dances and songs
