This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 2 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration creating an analog clock from a paper plate, showing the placement of the numbers and the 2 hands; explaining how long it takes for the 2 hands to move around the clock face and what time unit each is showing
- • Elaboration recognising and describing the relationship between the movement of the hands on an analog clock and the duration of time it represents; for example, connecting the language of “half past” to mean when the “big hand” will be at half past the hour and recognising this position as being halfway around its full cycle
- • Elaboration dividing a clockface into halves and quarters, and connecting the subdivisions with telling the time to the half and quarter hour; explaining the meaning of “quarter past” and “quarter to” referring to the hour
