1. Patterns, Algebra, and Function Reasoning · Use reasoning to represent and solve algebraic and numerical situations.
- Algebraic Transformations: Model situations or procedures by translating them into algebraic expressions or formulae and by using graphs; move between word problems, algebraic representations, tables, and graphical representations
- Reasoning with Equivalences: Recognise and use repeated reasoning to generalise: extend patterns in equivalent fractions and percentage conversions, derive unknown facts from known facts, describe general rules for sequences and predict terms
2. Patterns, Algebra, and Function Reasoning · Use multiple representations to reason and solve problems involving operational properties of fractions.
- Dividing fractions (unit fractions): Interpret and compute division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number (e.g. 1/3 ÷ 4 = 1/12); use visual models and the relationship between multiplication and division to explain the result
- Dividing unit fractions and whole numbers: Solve real-world problems involving division of unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions, using visual models and equations
- Real-world fraction multiplication: Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, using visual fraction models or equations
- Adding fractions (different denominators): Add and subtract fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number by finding a common denominator
- Adding Fractions (Unlike Denominators): Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions to produce a common denominator
3. Patterns, Algebra, and Function Reasoning · Use multiple representations to reason and solve problems involving operational properties of whole numbers and decimals.
- Division with Decimals: Use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places; divide decimals to hundredths by whole numbers
4. Numerical Reasoning · Represent and compare fractions in multiple ways.
- Comparing fractions (age 10+): Compare and order fractions including fractions greater than 1, by converting to common denominators or using benchmarks
5. Numerical Reasoning · Represent and compare numbers using relationships within the base ten number system.
- Place Value × 10 and ÷ 10: Recognise that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left
- Patterns with Powers of Ten: Explain patterns in zeros when multiplying by powers of 10 and in decimal-point placement when multiplying/dividing by a power of 10; use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10 (e.g. 10³ = 1000)
- Numbers to 10,000: Identify, represent, and estimate numbers up to 10,000 using different representations
- Reading and writing numbers (age 10+): Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form; compare using >, =, < based on place-value meaning
- Reading and writing numbers (age 9+): Read, write, order, and compare whole numbers up to at least 1,000,000 using base-ten numerals, number names, expanded form, and place-value understanding
6. Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning · Graph on the coordinate plane.
- Plotting points in the first quadrant: Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and interpreting coordinate values in context
7. Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning · Convert within a given measurement system and measure length.
- Measurement Conversions: Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation and multi-step reasoning in real-world contexts
- Unit Conversions: Convert freely between related standard units of measurement (time, length, area, volume/capacity, mass) using decimal notation to up to three decimal places where appropriate
8. Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning · Solve area, perimeter, and volume problems in real-world and mathematical situations.
- Estimating answers (age 10+): Find the volume of right rectangular prisms by packing with unit cubes and show it equals l × w × h (or base area × height); apply V = l × w × h and V = B × h to solve real-world problems; calculate, estimate, and compare volumes of cubes and cuboids in standard units (cm³, m³)
- Real-World Mathematical Modelling: Model real-world problems involving ratio, scale, volume, unit conversion, and proportional reasoning with appropriate tools, diagrams, or equations
9. Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning · Represent the probability of simple events and determine possible outcomes.
- Probability as a Fraction: Describe the probability of simple equally-likely outcomes using unit fractions: the probability of rolling a 6 on a fair die is 1/6, flipping heads is 1/2, picking one specific colour from three equally represented colours is 1/3; place these fractional probabilities on a 0-to-1 probability scale
- Calculating Simple Probability: Calculate the probability of a simple event with equally likely outcomes using the formula: probability = number of favourable outcomes ÷ total number of possible outcomes; express the result as a fraction in its simplest form; apply to rolling dice, drawing from bags, and other simple chance situations
10. Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning · Create questions, collect and analyze data, and communicate through multiple representations.
- Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+): Construct and interpret frequency tables, bar charts, pie charts, pictograms, and vertical line charts for both categorical and grouped numerical data, choosing appropriate representations for the data type
- Understanding fractions: Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8); use operations on fractions to solve problems involving data in line plots (e.g. redistribute total equally)
