AC9M3N07 Year 3 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 3 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.

follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to investigate numbers; describe any emerging patterns

Elaborations

• 1 following or creating an algorithm to generate number patterns formed by doubling and halving using technology to assist where appropriate; identifying and describing emerging patterns
• 2 following or creating an algorithm that determines whether a given number is a multiple of \(2, 5\) or \(10\), identifying and discussing emerging patterns
• 3 creating an algorithm as a set of instructions that a classmate can follow to generate multiples of \(3\) using the rule “To multiply by \( 3\) you double the number and add on one more of the number”; for example, for \(3\) threes you double \(3\) and add on \(3\) to get \(9\), for \(3\) fours you double \(4\) and add one more \(4\) to get \(12\) ...
• 4 creating a sorting algorithm that will sort a collection of \(5\) cent and \(10\) cent coins and providing the total value of the collection by applying knowledge of multiples of \(5\) and \(10\)
