Portfolio

Students apply their knowledge of whole numbers through the four basic operations and place value up to 1000, represent and make equivalences between fractions, decimals and percentages. They understand space by studying points on the plane, lines, angles, two and three-dimensional shapes and solve problems related to measures of angles, area and perimeter. They also interpret, show and represent the data in tables or graphs and use probability.

Course Description

2 of 3

Learning Intentions

  • Use place value knowledge to identify and explain the value of each digit up to two decimal places, compose, decompose, round to the nearest whole, multiply and divide decimals and whole numbers.
  • Counting on and back including negative numbers to find any term in a sequence using repeated addition, multiplication, and spatial patterns.
  • Use factor and multiples concepts to apply divisibility rules (4 and 8), identify prime and composite numbers and solve multiplications by 2 digits and divisions by 1 digits up to 1000 in different contexts.
  • Calculate and compare times zones and find time intervals using units of time including milliseconds, digital and analogue clocks (12 and 24 hours), expressed as a decimal, or in mixed units.
  • Identify, compare, describe, classify, sketch and calculate missing angles on a straight line and triangles using geometric vocabulary
  • Estimate, measure, draw and calculate perimeters and areas of compound 2d shapes in different context, using formulas and understanding relationship between perimeters and areas of them.
  • Simplify calculations following a particular order to multiply and divide whole numbers, find square numbers, add and subtract negative integer with unknown quantities in mathematical and real context.
  • Use factor and multiples concepts to apply divisibility rules (4 and 8), identify prime and composite numbers and solve multiplications by 2 digits and divisions by 1 digits up to 1000 in different contexts.
  • Apply all elements of the cycle to conduct a statistics investigation by:

- specifying the problem, planning the investigation considering what data to collect and making predictions

- collecting, recording and organising the data (categorical, discrete and continuous)

- considering how to appropriately represent the data including frequency diagrams for continuous data and line graphs

- interpreting the data using the mode, the media and patterns to summarise data sets, and discussing conclusions considering the sources of variation.

  • Represent fractions as a division of the numerator by the denominator and find equivalent values using proper, improper fractions, mixed numbers, decimal and percentages in different context.
  • Add, subtract fractions with denominator that are multiples of each other, multiply and divide unit fractions by a whole number in mathematical and real context.
  • Recognise and write percentages based on fraction with denominator 100 and use this knowledge to compare and order proper fractions, decimals and percentages in different context
  • Find ratio and proportions in different context and apply the knowledge of equivalence to recognise proportions can be written as fractions, decimals or percentages.
  • Identify and complete symmetrical patterns using reflective symmetry
  • Compare positions, plot points, translate, reflect and form lines and 2D shapes using coordinate plane (first quadrant) with correct notation
  • Conduct chance experiments or simulations, present and describe results using vocabulary associated with likelihood and risk of events.
