Outcomes
MA1-2DS-01 recognises, describes and represents shapes including quadrilaterals and other common polygonsMA1-2DS-02 measures and compares areas using uniform informal units in rows and columnsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
2D shapes: Represent, combine and separate two-dimensional shapes
- Make representations of two-dimensional shapes and combinations of shapes in different orientations
- Combine and split single shapes and arrangements of shapes to form new shapes (Reasons about spatial relations)
2D shapes: Identify and describe the orientation of shapes using quarter turns
- Identify full, half and quarter turns of a single shape and describe the movement of the shape
- Identify and describe directions of turns as ‘left turn’, ‘right turn’, ‘clockwise’ or ‘anti-clockwise’
- Connect the use of quarter and half turns to the turn of the minute hand on a clock for the passing of quarter and half-hours (Reasons about relations)
- Perform full, half and quarter turns with a single shape
- Describe the result of a turn of a shape
- Determine the repeating pattern formed by quarter turns
Area: Compare rectangular areas using uniform square units of an appropriate size in rows and columns
- Cover rectangular surfaces by creating repeated rows of square tiles
- Use a single square to create the array structure of area in rows and columns
- Use the structure of repeated units to find the area of a rectangle
- Explain how the grid structure of rows and columns helps to find the area (Reasons about spatial structure)
- Compare the areas of two or more surfaces that cannot be moved, or superimposed, by measuring in uniform informal units
- Record comparisons of area using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal unit used
