  make, compare and classify familiar shapes; recognise familiar shapes and objects in the environment, identifying the similarities and differences between them

  Elaborations

  • classifying a collection of shapes including different circles, ovals, regular and irregular shapes, triangles and quadrilaterals, saying what is the same about the shapes in a group and what is different between the shapes in a group

• VCSSU048

  The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape

  Elaborations

  • observing the way different shaped objects move, such as balls, blocks and tubes
  • comparing the way different sized, but similar shaped, objects roll and bounce, such as tennis balls, golf balls, marbles and basketballs
  • observing how the movement of different living things depends on their size and shape
  • exploring how different strengths of pushes and pulls affect the movement of objects
  • identifying toys from different cultures that use the forces of push or pull

• VC2M1M02

  measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end

  Elaborations

  • using 2 different units (for example, icy pole sticks and pencils) to measure the length of an object (for example, a desk), and explaining why the number of units used may be different
  • comparing the length of 2 objects, such as a desk and a bookshelf, by laying multiple copies of a unit and counting to say which is longer and how much longer; and explaining why they should not have gaps or overlaps between the units, as this will change the length of the unit
  • measuring the distance between 2 locations using footsteps, comparing the results and explaining why there may be different results, for example, referring to the different lengths of footsteps as using different units
  • measuring and comparing the length of objects using blocks; for example, comparing the height of 2 toys by stacking blocks one on top of the other and counting how many it takes to reach the height of each object to decide which is taller

• 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

• VC2M1A02

  recognise, continue and create repeating patterns with numbers, symbols, shapes and objects, identifying the repeating unit and recognising the importance of repetition in solving problems

  Elaborations

  • interpreting a repeating pattern sequence created by someone else, noticing and describing the repeating part of the pattern and explaining how they know what comes next in the sequence
  • generalising a repeating pattern by identifying the unit of repeat and representing the elements using numbers, letters or symbols; for example, representing the repeating pattern of stamp, stamp, clap, stamp, clap, pause, stamp, stamp, clap, stamp, clap as SSCSC SSCSC …, recognising the elements that are repeating, describing the unit of repeat as SSCSC and continuing the pattern
  • recognising within the sequencing of natural numbers that 0–9 digits are repeated both in and between the decades and using this pattern to continue the sequence and name two-digit numbers beyond 20
  • identifying the repeating patterns in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander systems of counting, exploring different ways of representing numbers including oral and gestural language
  • considering how the making of shell or seed necklaces by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples includes practices such as sorting shells and beads based on colour, size and shape, and creating a repeating pattern sequence

• VCADAE021

  Use safe dance practice, fundamental locomotor and non-locomotor movements, body parts, bases and zones to explore, improvise and structure movement ideas for dance

  Elaborations

  • trialling ways of safely using the whole body and different body parts, bases and zones to communicate ideas, experiences and feelings, for example, making a rounded shape to explore ideas about enclosed spaces
  • exploring options for creating and extending movements, alone and then with a partner, for example, forming and changing shapes within space
  • using questions to explore ways of using forms and elements, for example, dancers consider how they can communicate an emotion or idea, how a shape can be varied, how two shapes can be combined
  • using stimulus materials to explore ideas for dance, for example, using percussion instruments or body percussion to explore how movements can be varied by performing them at different speeds, or identifying patterns in images and recreating the ideas through movement
