• VC2M2A03

  recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for twos; extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts using doubling and halving

  Elaborations

  • recognising and relating terms such as ‘double’, ‘twice’ and ‘multiply by 2’, and ‘halve’ and ‘divide by 2’ using physical and virtual materials; for example, colouring numbers on a hundreds chart to represent doubles and using it to recognise halves or recognising the doubling pattern and applying the pattern to find related facts such as ‘For 8 twos, think 2 eights’
  • doubling and halving collections to practise and develop fluency with multiplication and division facts for twos, leading to recall of these facts
  • establishing an understanding of doubles and near doubles using physical or virtual manipulatives; for example, using manipulatives to establish that doubling 5 gives you 10, then extending this doubling fact to respond to the question ‘How can you use this fact to double 6 or double 4?’
  • developing fluency with doubling and halving numbers within 20 using physical or virtual materials and playing doubling and halving games; for example, using a physical or virtual dice and choosing whether to double or halve to reach a target number

• VC2M2M05

  identify, describe and demonstrate quarter, half, three-quarter and full measures of turn in everyday situations

  Elaborations

  • identifying things that turn in the school environment, for example, the handle on a tap or a door, or the dial or switch on a piece of equipment; and identifying a half turn and a full turn, drawing a diagram and labelling it with arrows to show the direction and amount of turn
  • giving and following instructions to move during an activity; for example, demonstrating and describing half, quarter and full turns in a choreographed dance
  • investigating hands turning on a clock and relating quarter, half and full hours to angles and the language of clockwise or anticlockwise
  • giving or following directions to locate an object in the room or to provide a pathway through a grid, such as programming a robot, referring to quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns

• VC2M2M01

  measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary

  Elaborations

  • choosing suitable informal units to measure the length of a range of objects, and justifying their choice of a longer unit to measure things that are long (such as the width of a room) and a shorter unit to measure shorter things or when more accuracy is needed
  • comparing the capacity of several containers using sand and units such as a spoon or cup, to say which container will hold the most and how much more it will hold; recording the results; writing an explanation of their measurement process, including using smaller units to be more accurate; and justifying the result
  • using balance scales to compare the mass of several objects, selecting an appropriate informal unit; counting the number of informal units to determine which object is heavier and how much heavier; and explaining why the informal units chosen need to be the same mass
  • recognising that the same informal unit needs to be used when measuring (for example, demonstrating and discussing why using different shoe lengths to measure the same distance could result in the measures being different) and discussing why a smaller-sized informal unit may result in a larger number of units compared to a larger-sized informal unit
  • investigating Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ use of body parts, such as hands, as uniform informal units of measurement used to measure and compare objects, for example, in the manufacturing of nets for a particular purpose
  • investigating and comparing measurable attributes that are interpreted by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to understand animal behaviour, such as the length, width and depth of animal tracks

• VC2M2ST01

  acquire data for categorical variables through surveys, observation, experiment and using digital tools; sort data into relevant categories and display data using lists and tables

  Elaborations

  • posing a question of interest about favourite things (for example, asking classmates ‘What are your favourite types of fruit/football teams/days of the week?’), recording responses using a table, and using counting strategies to determine the number of different responses and the most popular and least popular responses
  • investigating questions such as ‘How much rubbish is really rubbish?’ by gathering data about objects in categories (for example, ‘throw away’, ‘recycle’ and ‘re-use’), deciding whether the data answers the question
  • using familiar software to construct a survey to collect class data; sorting and interpreting responses; and considering the questions asked and whether they need to be modified to re-use the survey
  • observing events and using the observations to design a table or list to record data; for example, observing students arriving at school prior to deciding the appropriate data categories for investigating the different ways students get to school
  • exploring the ways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples observe, collect, sort and record data

• VC2M2N05

  multiply and divide by one-digit numbers using repeated addition, equal grouping, arrays and partitioning to support a variety of calculation strategies

  Elaborations

  • making and naming arrays and using bar models to solve simple multiplication or sharing problems; for example, making different arrays to represent 12 and naming them as ‘3 fours’, ‘2 sixes’, ‘4 threes’ and ‘6 twos’, using physical or virtual materials to make arrays or using bar models to demonstrate that ‘3 fours’ is equal to ‘4 threes’
  • finding the total number represented in an array by partitioning the array using subitising and number facts; for example, describing how they determined the total number of dots arranged in a ‘3 fives’ array by saying, ‘I saw 2 fives, which is 10, and then 5 more, which makes 15’
  • recognising problems that can be solved using division and identifying the difference between dividing a set of objects into 3 equal groups and dividing the same set of objects into groups of 3
  • using a Think Board to solve partition and quotition division problems; for example, sharing a prize of $36 between 4 people, using materials, a diagram and skip counting to find the answer, and explaining whether the answer ‘9’ refers to people or dollars
  • using materials or diagrams, and skip counting, to solve repeated equal-quantity multiplication problems; for example, writing a repeated addition number sentence and using skip counting to solve the problem ‘Four trays of biscuits with 6 on each tray – how many biscuits are there?’

• VC2M2N04

  add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, represent problems using number sentences and solve using part-part-whole reasoning and a variety of calculation strategies

  Elaborations

  • using the associative property of addition to assist with mental calculation by partitioning, rearranging and regrouping numbers using number knowledge, near doubles and bridging-to-10 strategies; for example, calculating 7 + 8 using 7 + (7 + 1) = (7 + 7) + 1, the associative property and near doubles; or calculating 7 + 8 using the associative property and bridging to 10: 7 + (3 + 5) = (7 + 3) + 5
  • using strategies such as doubles, near doubles, part-part-whole knowledge to 10, bridging tens and partitioning to mentally solve problems involving two-digit numbers; for example, calculating 56 + 37 by thinking 5 tens and 3 tens is 8 tens, 6 + 7 = 6 + 4 + 3 is one 10 and 3, and so the result is 9 tens and 3, or 93
  • representing addition and subtraction problems using a bar model and writing a number sentence, explaining how each number in the sentence is connected to the situation
  • using mental strategies and informal written jottings to help keep track of the numbers when solving addition and subtraction problems involving two-digit numbers and recognising that zero added to a number leaves the number unchanged; for example, in calculating 34 + 20 = 54, 3 tens add 2 tens is 5 tens, which is 50, and 4 ones add zero ones is 4 ones, which is 4, so the result is 50 + 4 = 54
  • using a physical or mental number line or hundreds chart to solve addition or subtraction problems by moving along or up and down in tens and ones; for example, solving the problem ‘I was given a $100 gift card for my birthday and spent $38 on a pair of shoes and $15 on a T-shirt. How much money do I have left on the card?’
  • using Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ stories and dances to understand the balance and connection between addition and subtraction, representing relationships as number sentences
