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

give and follow directions to move people and objects to different locations within a space

Elaborations

  • • interpreting and following directions around familiar locations, and understanding the meaning and importance of the words when giving directions; for example, using words like “forwards” and “backwards”, “straight ahead”, “left or right” to describe movement and giving instructions like “Keep going straight until you reach the end of this passage and then turn to your right”
  • • creating and following an algorithm consisting of a set of instructions to move an object to a different location; for example, role-playing being a robot and following step-by-step instructions given by another classmate to move from one place to another, only moving as instructed
  • • following directions to move people into different positions within a line using both ordinal and positional language to describe their position; for example, directly comparing heights and following directions using ordinal and positional language to line up in height order
  • • describing a familiar journey across Country/Place using directional language

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.
