Numeracy

Students will continue to build on their knowledge of Number and Place Value with Year One students working with numbers up to 120 and Year Two students up to 999. 

Term 3 will see students learning about Multiplication and Division, with the focus on using the most efficient strategies.  

What we expect the students to learn in Mathematics:

Year One

• Multiplication/Division: Represent practical situations that model sharing. Investigate and describe number patterns formed by skip counting and patterns with objects.
• Location: Give and follow directions to familiar locations.
• Chance: Identify outcomes of familiar events involving chance and describe them using everyday language such as ‘will happen’, ‘won’t happen’ or ‘might happen’.

Year Two

• Multiplication/Division: Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays. Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations.
• Location: Interpret simple maps of familiar locations and identify the relative positions of key features.
• Chance: Identify practical activities and everyday events that involve chance. Describe outcomes as ‘likely’ or ‘unlikely’ and identify some events as ‘certain’ or ‘impossible’.
• Area: Students order shapes and objects, using informal units for a range of measures.
