• VC2M2N06

  use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations, including money transactions; represent situations and choose calculation strategies; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the context

  Elaborations

  • modelling practical problems by interpreting an everyday additive or multiplicative situation; for example, making a number of purchases at a store and deciding whether to use addition, subtraction, multiplication or division to solve the problem and justifying the choice of operation, such as ‘I used subtraction to solve this problem as I knew the total and one of the parts, so I needed to subtract to find the missing part’
  • modelling and solving simple money problems involving whole dollar amounts with addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, for example, ‘If each member of our class contributes $5, how much money will we have in total?’
  • modelling and solving practical problems such as deciding how many people should be in each team for a game or sports event, how many teams for a given game can be filled from a class, or how to share out some food or distribute money in whole dollar amounts, including deciding what to do if there is a remainder
  • modelling and solving the problem ‘How many days are there left in this year?’ by using a calendar
  • modelling problems involving equal grouping and sharing in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children’s instructive games; for example, in Yangamini from the Tiwi Peoples of Bathurst Island, representing relationships with a number sentence and interpreting and communicating solutions in terms of the context

• VCDEU116

  Understand that language is organised as ‘texts’, which take different forms and use different structures and features to achieve their purposes

  Elaborations

  • understanding that texts can be spoken, written, digital, visual or multimodal, and that they can be very short (Stopp!, or a hand gesture to signal Komm her!) or much longer
  • recognising that different types of texts have different features, for example, rhythm and repetition in action songs and rhymes
  • comparing similar texts in German and English, such as counting games or simple maps, identifying elements in the German texts which look or sound different
  • identifying familiar text types such as songs, rhymes, picture books, games, family trees and tables, and naming key features, for example, Titel, Seite and Bild

• VCDTCD041

  Design the user experience of a digital system, generating, evaluating and communicating alternative designs

  Elaborations

  • designing the user interface of a solution using a range of design tools, for example using a storyboard to explain the stages of a game, and wire-frames and mock-ups to describe the appearance of a solution
  • identifying features that make an effective game, such as storyline, goal, reward, gameplay and environment
  • identifying similar digital systems and their user interfaces, assessing whether user interface elements can be re-used
  • devising criteria and comparing alternative design ideas that address a problem, for example evaluating two design outlines on the basis of attractiveness, ergonomics, ease of use, emotional satisfaction and accessibility
  • applying the principles and elements of design to a series of solutions to evaluate the success of each solution in holding the viewer’s attention, for example identifying which colour combinations or framing of visual elements keep different audiences engaged with on-screen activity

• VC2MFN06

  represent practical situations that involve equal sharing and grouping with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies

  Elaborations

  • using materials to role-play equal sharing; for example, sharing pieces of fruit or a bunch of grapes between 4 people and discussing how you would know they have been shared equally; or, when playing card games where each player is dealt the same number of cards, counting the number of cards after the deal to ensure they have the same amount
  • representing situations that involve counting several items; for example, starting with 9 beads or 6 $1 coins and then sharing them equally between 3 people by subitising or counting each group by ones to decide how many beads or coins each person will receive
  • exploring instructive games of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples that involve sharing; for example, playing Yangamini of the Tiwi Peoples of Bathurst Island to investigate and discuss equal sharing

• VC2MFSP02

  describe the position and location of themselves and objects in relation to other people and objects within a familiar space

  Elaborations

  • describing the position of an item in relation to other items in the space using language like ‘inside’, ‘underneath’ and ‘on top of’; for example, when asked ‘Where are the scissors kept?’, responding with ‘They are in a box, on the bottom shelf at the back of the classroom’
  • describing where they have moved themselves and items in relation to other items within a space, using familiar terms; for example, playing a hiding game and when asked ‘Where did you hide the ball?’, responding, ‘I hid it behind the garbage bin over there near the bench’
  • exploring Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander instructive games, for example, Thapumpan from the Wik-Mungkan Peoples of Cape Bedford in northern Queensland, describing position and movement of self in relation to other participants, objects or locations
