• VC2M1A01

  recognise, continue and create pattern sequences, with numbers, symbols, shapes and objects including Australian coins, formed by skip counting, initially by twos, fives and tens

  Elaborations

  • using number charts, songs, rhymes and stories to establish skip counting sequences of twos, fives and tens
  • using shapes and objects to represent a growing pattern formed by skip counting; for example, using blocks or beads to represent the growing patterns 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 … and 5, 10, 15, 20 …
  • recognising the patterns in sequences formed by skip counting; for example, recognising that skip counting in fives starting from zero always results in either a 5 or zero as the final digit
  • counting by twos, fives or tens to determine how much money is in a collection of coins or notes of the same denomination, for example, 5-cent, 10-cent and $2 coins or $5 and $10 notes
  • using different variations of the popular Korean counting game Sam-yuk-gu for generating skip counting pattern sequences

• VC2M5N08

  check and explain the reasonableness of solutions to problems, including financial contexts using estimation strategies appropriate to the context

  Elaborations

  • interpreting a series of contextual problems to decide whether an exact answer or an approximate calculation is appropriate, and explaining their reasoning in relation to the context and the numbers involved
  • recognising the effect of rounding addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations, and rounding both numbers up, both numbers down, and one number up and one number down; and explaining which estimation is the best approximation and why
  • considering the type of rounding that is appropriate when estimating the amount of money required; for example, rounding up or rounding down when buying one item from a store using cash, compared to rounding up the cost of every item when buying groceries to estimate the total cost and not rounding when the financial transactions are digital

• VC2M5P02

  conduct repeated chance experiments, including those with and without equally likely outcomes, and observe and record the results; use frequency to compare outcomes and estimate their likelihoods

  Elaborations

  • discussing and listing all the possible outcomes of an activity and conducting experiments to estimate the probabilities (for example, using coloured cards in a card game and experimenting with shuffling the deck and turning over one card at a time) and recording and discussing the results
  • conducting experiments, recording the outcomes and the number of times the outcomes occur, and describing the relative frequency of each outcome; for example, using ‘I threw the coin 10 times, and the results were 3 times for a head, so that is 3 out of 10, and 7 times for a tail, so that is 7 out of 10’
  • experimenting with and comparing the outcomes of spinners with equal coloured regions compared to unequal coloured regions; and responding to questions such as ‘How does this spinner differ to one where each of the colours has an equal chance of occurring?’, giving reasons
  • comparing the results of experiments using a fair dice and one that has numbers represented on faces more than once, explaining how this affects the likelihood of outcomes
  • using spreadsheets to record the outcomes of an activity and calculate the total frequencies of different outcomes, representing these as a fraction; for example, using coloured balls in a bag, drawing one out at a time and recording the colour, and replacing them in the bag after each draw
