This two-week unit introduces students to the big idea that collections of 10 are useful.

• TLF-IDA005506

This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding, and skills of how new shapes can be made by joining (combining) and breaking apart (partitioning) existing shapes.

• TLF-IDA005493

This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills with three-dimensional objects, volume and internal volume. Students are provided opportunities to name, classify, compare and describe 2D shapes and 3D objects according to their features; recognise that flat surfaces of 3D objects can be named as ...

This activity uses pattern blocks to explore patterns and the relationship between numbers. Students use the blocks to create and describe other shapes and since the blocks are relational they can be used for other investigations. For example, turn the blocks into units – if the triangle is one what is the value of the hexagon?

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 1 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...
