Stage 2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 29

This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.

Students are provided opportunities to:

  • compare and describe features of three-dimensional objects by making and exploring models, sketches and diagrams
  • construct and draw models from given top, front and side views, using squared and isometric paper
  • use formal units (litres and millilitres) to measure capacity and use scaled instruments to measure and compare capacities.

Representing numbers using place value A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-RN-01

Whole numbers: Read, represent and order numbers to thousands

Representing numbers using place value B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-RN-01

Whole numbers: Order numbers in the thousands

Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-01

2D shapes: Compare and describe features of two-dimensional shapes

Three-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-3DS-01, MA2-3DS-02

  • 3D objects: Make models of three-dimensional objects to compare and describe key features
  • Volume: Measure and order containers using litres

Three-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-3DS-01, MA2-3DS-02

  • 3D objects: Connect three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional representations
