Stage 2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 32

This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that understanding relationships between properties of two-dimensional shapes helps visualise and organise spaces in the world.

Students are provided opportunities to:

  • combine and split common shapes to create other common two-dimensional shapes
  • transform shapes by reflecting, translating, and rotating
  • measure and compare the areas of shapes using the grid structure and familiar metric units of area

Multiplicative relations A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-MR-01

Represent and solve problems involving multiplication fact families

Multiplicative relations B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-MR-01, MA2-MR-02

  • Use the structure of the area model to represent multiplication and division
  • Use number properties to find related multiplication facts
  • Operate with multiples of 10
  • Represent and solve word problems with number sentences involving multiplication or division

Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-02

2D shapes: Transform shapes by reflecting, translating and rotating

Two-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-01, MA2-2DS-02, MA2-2DS-03

  • 2D shapes: Create two-dimensional shapes that result from combining and splitting common shapes
