This Content Descriptor from Year 1 Mathematics provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning

Elaborations

  • • using a piece of string to indirectly compare the length of several objects, deciding which will fit within a space; using comparative language to describe the order: shortest, short, longer, longest
  • • ordering the mass of \(3\) or more objects such as rocks, using hefting and balance scales; using comparative language to explain the order: lightest, light, heavier, heaviest, and how they decided on the order
  • • pouring sand/rice/water from one container to another to compare and order the capacity of \(3\) or more containers; describing the order of the results in terms of which holds the most/least, and those in between
  • • creating sand timers from everyday items or recycled material and comparing them to order the duration of time required for the sand to run through
  • • investigating situations where First Nations Australians estimate, compare and communicate measurements; for example, the duration of seasons; understanding animal behaviour using the length of animal tracks; investigating capacity through water management techniques of First Nations Australians, such as traditional water carrying vessels and rock holes

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 1 ASMATY1
Year 1 Mathematics Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 1, students connect number names, numerals and quantities, and order numbers to at least 120. They demonstrate how one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways and that two-digit numbers can be partitioned into tens and ones. Students partition collections into equal groups and skip count in twos, fives or tens to quantify collections to at least 120. They solve problems involving addition and subtraction of numbers to 20 and use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using calculation strategies. Students use numbers, symbols and objects to create skip counting and repeating patterns, identifying the repeating unit.They compare and order objects and events based on the attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning. Students measure the length of shapes and objects using uniform informal units. They make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features. Students give and follow directions to move people and objects within a space. They collect and record categorical data, create one-to-one displays, and compare and discuss the data using frequencies.
