Teaching sequences for AC V9

Students learn to use subitisable groups and benchmark numbers to quantify and compare collections up to 20.

Students count and connect number names, numerals, and quantities, as they make plans for a class tea party.

Students use everyday classroom experiences to investigate the story of their class data. They collect and record data about how many are in the class, and make informed predictions.

Students take handfuls of macaroni and investigate efficient counting strategies to check whether their handful contains 100 pieces.

Students learn that 10 ones can be grouped together to form a unit of 1 ten, and they apply this knowledge to two-digit numbers.

Students make predictions, collect and record data about how a far a toy car might roll. They use the data they collect as evidence to refine subsequent predictions about their car.

Students learn that “10 of these are 1 of those”, and they apply this knowledge to three-digit numbers.

Students use correct terminology and visual representations, including Venn diagrams, to sort and describe one-digit, two-digit and three-digit numbers looking for similarities, differences and generalisations in our number system. 

Students investigate the problem of designing a class playground that is fun for everyone. They plan, collect, record and analyse survey data to conclude what playground features students would like.
