Outcomes
MA2-GM-01 uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routesMA2-GM-02 measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetresMA2-GM-03 identifies angles and classifies them by comparing to a right angleContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Position: Create and interpret grid maps
- Create simple maps and plans from an aerial view, labelling grid references
- Identify and mark locations on maps and plans, given their grid references
Position: Use directional language and describe routes with grid maps
- Use a given grid map and compass directions (N, S, E, W) to plan, describe and show a route from one location to another
- Use natural resources or landmarks to identify north, south, east, west
- Relate compass directions to amounts of turn
- Describe a return journey between 2 locations on a grid map (Reasons about spatial orientation)
Length: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths
- Select and use an appropriate scaled instrument to measure lengths and distances
- Select and use an appropriate unit to estimate, measure and compare lengths and distances
- Recognise the features of a three-dimensional object associated with length that can be measured
- Use the term perimeter to describe the distance around the boundary
- Estimate and measure the perimeters of quadrilaterals
- Convert between metres and centimetres, and between centimetres and millimetres
- Record lengths and distances using decimal notation to 2 decimal places
Angles: Compare angles to a right angle
- Compare angles to a right angle using an informal means
- Recognise and describe angles as less than, equal to, about the same as or greater than a right angle
- Describe angles in comparison to quarter-turns as acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex or a revolution
- Identify the arms and vertex of an angle where one arm is visible and the other arm is invisible
