Mathematics Level Description

In Level 1, students use mathematical symbols and language as well as materials and drawings in their mathematical explorations of daily life.

Students recognise, represent and order numbers to at least 100 using materials, diagrams, words, numerals and a number line, and apply this with respect to the value of Australian coins. They group and skip count by twos, fives and tens, and count to...

Mathematics Content Descriptions

Number and Algebra

Number and place value
  1. Develop confidence with number sequences to and from 100 by ones from any starting point. Skip count by twos, fives and tens starting from zero (VCMNA086)
  2. Recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. Locate these numbers on a number line (VCMNA087)
  3. Count collections to 100 by partitioning numbers using place value (VCMNA088)
  4. Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts (VCMNA089)
  5. Represent practical situations that model sharing (VCMNA090)
Fractions and decimals
  1. Recognise and describe one-half as one of two equal parts of a whole (VCMNA091)
Money and financial mathematics
  1. Recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value (VCMNA092)
Patterns and algebra
  1. Investigate and describe number patterns formed by skip counting and patterns with objects (VCMNA093)
  2. Recognise the importance of repetition of a process in solving problems (VCMNA094)

Measurement and Geometry

Using units of measurement
  1. Measure and compare the lengths, masses and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units (VCMMG095)
  2. Tell time to the half-hour (VCMMG096)
  3. Describe duration using months, weeks, days and hours (VCMMG097)
Shape
  1. Recognise and classify familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using obvious features (VCMMG098)
Location and transformation
  1. Give and follow directions to familiar locations (VCMMG099)

Statistics and Probability

Chance
  1. Identify outcomes of familiar events involving chance and describe them using everyday language such as ‘will happen’, ‘won’t happen’ or ‘might happen’ (VCMSP100)
Data representation and interpretation
  1. Choose simple questions and gather responses (VCMSP101)
  2. Represent data with objects and drawings where one object or drawing represents one data value. Describe the displays (VCMSP102)

Mathematics Achievement Standard

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 of one half. Students describe number sequences resulting from skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. They continue simple patterns involving numbers and objects with and without the use of digital technology.

Measurement and Geometry

Students use informal units of measurement to order objects based on length, mass and capacity. They tell time to the half-hour and explain time durations. Students describe two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects. They use the language of distance and direction to move from place to place.

Statistics and Probability

Students describe data displays. They ask questions to collect data and draw simple data displays. Students classify outcomes of simple familiar events.
