Mathematics Level 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 and backwards by twos threes, fives and tens, with and without the use of technology. They explore...

Mathematics Content Descriptions

Number and Algebra

Number and place value
  1. Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes, fives and ten from any starting point, then moving to other sequences (VCMNA103)
  2. Recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 1000 (VCMNA104)
  3. Group, partition and rearrange collections up to 1000 in hundreds, tens and ones to facilitate more efficient counting (VCMNA105)
  4. Explore the connection between addition and subtraction (VCMNA106)
  5. Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies (VCMNA107)
  6. Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays (VCMNA108)
  7. Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations (VCMNA109)
Fractions and decimals
  1. Recognise and interpret common uses of halves, quarters and eighths of shapes and collections (VCMNA110)
Money and financial mathematics
  1. Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value (VCMNA111)
Patterns and algebra
  1. Describe patterns with numbers and identify missing elements (VCMNA112)
  2. Solve problems by using number sentences for addition or subtraction (VCMNA113)
  3. Apply repetition in arithmetic operations, including multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction (VCMNA114)

Measurement and Geometry

Using units of measurement
  1. Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units (VCMMG115)
  2. Compare masses of objects using balance scales (VCMMG116)
  3. Tell time to the quarter-hour, using the language of 'past' and 'to' (VCMMG117)
  4. Name and order months and seasons (VCMMG118)
  5. Use a calendar to identify the date and determine the number of days in each month (VCMMG119)
Shape
  1. Describe and draw two-dimensional shapes, with and without digital technologies (VCMMG120)
  2. Describe the features of three-dimensional objects (VCMMG121)
Location and transformation
  1. Interpret simple maps of familiar locations and identify the relative positions of key features (VCMMG122)
  2. Investigate the effect of one-step slides and flips with and without digital technologies (VCMMG123)
  3. Identify and describe half and quarter turns (VCMMG124)

Statistics and Probability

Chance
  1. Identify practical activities and everyday events that involve chance. Describe outcomes as ‘likely’ or ‘unlikely’ and identify some events as ‘certain’ or ‘impossible’ (VCMSP125)
Data representation and interpretation
  1. Identify a question of interest based on one categorical variable. Gather data relevant to the question (VCMSP126)
  2. Collect, check and classify data (VCMSP127)
  3. Create displays of data using lists, table and picture graphs and interpret them (VCMSP128)

Mathematics Achievement Standard

Number and Algebra

Students count to and from, and order numbers up to 1000. They perform simple addition and subtraction calculations, using a range of strategies. They find the total value of simple collections of Australian notes and coins. Students represent multiplication and division by grouping into sets and divide collections and shapes into halves, quarters and eighths. They recognise increasing and decreasing number sequences involving 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s, identify the missing element in a number sequence, and use digital technology to produce sequences by constant addition.

Measurement and Geometry

Students order shapes and objects, using informal units for a range of measures. They tell time to the quarter hour and use a calendar to identify the date, days, weeks and months included in seasons and other events. Students draw two-dimensional shapes, specify their features and explain the effects of one-step transformations. They recognise the features of three-dimensional objects. They interpret simple maps of familiar locations.

Statistics and Probability

Students collect data from relevant questions to create lists, tables and picture graphs with and without the use of digital technology. They interpret data in context. Students use everyday language to describe outcomes of familiar events.
