• Mathematics | Mathematics: Structure

  The curriculum is organised by the three strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

  Each strand is organised by sub-­strands. Sub-strands group content descriptions under an appropriate concept, to provide both a focus and a clear sequence for the...

• VCMNA072

  Compare, order and make correspondences between collections, initially to 20, and explain reasoning

  Elaborations

  • comparing and ordering items of like and unlike characteristics using the words ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘same as’ and ‘not the same as’ and giving reasons for these answers
  • understanding and using terms such as ‘first’ and ‘second’ to indicate ordinal position in a sequence.
  • using objects which are personally and culturally relevant to students

• Mathematics: Level 1 achievement standards

  Number and Algebra

  Students count to and from 100 and locate these numbers on a number line. They partition numbers using place value and carry out simple additions and subtractions, using counting strategies. Students recognise Australian coins according to their value. They identify representations...

• VCMNA133

  Recall addition facts for single-digit numbers and related subtraction facts to develop increasingly efficient mental strategies for computation

  Elaborations

  • recognising that certain single-digit number combinations always result in the same answer for addition and subtraction, and using this knowledge for addition and subtraction of larger numbers
  • extending strategies for addition and subtraction such as 14 + 8 + 6 = 14 + 6 + 8 = 28 and 54 – 28 = 2 + 20 + 4
  • combining knowledge of addition and subtraction facts and partitioning to aid computation. For example, 57 + 19 = 57 + 20 – 1

• VCMSP295

  Describe events using language of 'at least', exclusive 'or' (A or B but not both), inclusive 'or' (A or B or both) and 'and'

  Elaborations

  • posing 'and', 'or' and 'not' probability questions about objects or people

• Mathematics: Level 2 description

  In Level 2, students use grouping partitioning and re-arrangement to apply place value and extend the range of numbers they use and apply to thousands.

  Students recognise, model and order numbers to at least 1000 and use a variety of strategies to count efficiently, including skip counting forwards...

• VCMSP322

  Calculate relative frequencies from given or collected data to estimate probabilities of events involving 'and' or 'or'

  Elaborations

  • using Venn diagrams or two-way tables to calculate relative frequencies of events involving ‘and’, ‘or’ questions
  • using relative frequencies to find an estimate of probabilities of ‘and’, ‘or’ events

• VCMNA021

  Make comparison between items using appropriate language such as ‘same’ or ‘different’

  Elaborations

  • comparing two collections using one to one correspondence within the context of everyday situations
  • responding to questions about group comparison for example ‘Are they the same?’ ‘Or different?’ verbally or by indicating through augmentative and alternative communication, actions or eye gaze
