AC9M1N06 Year 1 Mathematics

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.

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving equal sharing and grouping; represent the situations with diagrams, physical and virtual materials, and use calculation strategies to solve the problem

Elaborations

• 1 modelling problems involving repeated equal group situations, such as, “How many wheels are needed for \(3\) cars?”, using materials and drawing a picture to show what they did, and recording the results with a number
• 2 modelling practical problems involving equal sharing situations; for example, sharing a set of dominoes between the \(2\) players in a game, and then counting or subitising to ensure they both have the same number of tiles
• 3 modelling money problems involving equal sharing; for example, sorting coins from a money box according to their denominations, sharing the coins equally between \(4\) people, and using counting or subitising to ensure they have equal amounts of each denomination
