• TLF-IDM024998

Maths can be found in living things and natural structures. Explore mathematical patterns in nature, such as the tessellating hexagonal units of a honeycomb, the bilateral symmetry of a leaf, the radial symmetry of a snowflake and spiderweb, and the number of right or left spirals on a pinecone or pineapple (Fibonacci numbers).

Explore visual perspectives of solids such as cylinders, spheres, cones and cuboids. Match a 2D photo of a group of 3D objects taken from a different viewpoint. Identify the relative positions of the solids by comparing 2D outlines and colours. Rotate the scene until the view matches the original photo. The solids in the ...

This unit introduces the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.

• TLF-IDA003150

This planning resource for Year 5 is for the topic of Transformation. Students develop their understanding and skills in transformations including reflections (flips), translations (slides) and rotations (turns). Students investigate reflection symmetry.

This is a website designed for teachers and students in year 5, and addresses the topic of angles. It contains material on the vocabulary used when dealing with angles, and introduces the measurement and construction of angles using a protractor. There are pages for both teachers and students. The student pages contain ...

• TLF-IDA006128

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that angles are the primary structural component of many shapes. Students are provided opportunities to: measure, compare and sequence events by halving and quartering blocks of time; represent fractional quantities of time and the multiplicative relationships; estimate and describe ...

• TLF-IDA006127

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that visual representations help us understand aspects of our world. Students are provided opportunities to: use directional language to interpret and locate positions on a grid map; predict and describe possible outcomes from chance experiments; use visualisation, language and ...

• TLF-IDA006131

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that understanding relationships between the properties of 2D shapes helps visualise and organise spaces in the world. Students are provided opportunities to: combine and split common shapes; transform two-dimensional and composite figures by reflecting, translating, and rotating; ...
