This Content Descriptor from Year 2 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

identify, describe and demonstrate quarter, half, three-quarter and full measures of turn in everyday situations

Elaborations

• identifying things that turn in the school environment; for example, the handle on a tap or a door, the dial or switch on a piece of equipment; identifying a half turn and a full turn, drawing a diagram and labelling it with arrows to show the direction and amount of turn
• giving and following instructions to move during an activity; for example, demonstrating and describing half, quarter and full turns in a choreographed dance
• investigating hands turning on a clock and relating quarter, half and full hours to angles and the language of clockwise or anti-clockwise
• giving or following directions to locate an object in the room, or provide a pathway through a grid, such as programming a robot, referring to quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns

Year 2 Mathematics Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 2, students order and represent numbers to at least 1000, apply knowledge of place value to partition, rearrange and rename two- and three-digit numbers in terms of their parts, and regroup partitioned numbers to assist in calculations. They use mathematical modelling to solve practical additive and multiplicative problems, including money transactions, representing the situation and choosing calculation strategies. Students identify and represent part-whole relationships of halves, quarters and eighths in measurement contexts. They describe and continue patterns that increase and decrease additively by a constant amount and identify missing elements in the pattern. Students recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition and subtraction facts within 20 and multiplication facts for twos. They use uniform informal units to measure and compare shapes and objects. Students determine the number of days between events using a calendar and read time on an analog clock to the hour, half hour and quarter hour. They compare and classify shapes, describing features using formal spatial terms. Students locate and identify positions of features in two-dimensional representations and move position by following directions and pathways. They use a range of methods to collect, record, represent and interpret categorical data in response to questions.
