Elaborations
- • Elaboration modelling an everyday situation and determining which operations can be used to solve it using materials, diagrams, arrays and/or bar models to represent the problem; formulating the situation as a number sentence and justifying their choice of operation in relation to the situation
- • Elaboration modelling a series of contextual problems, deciding whether an exact answer or an approximate calculation is appropriate; explaining their reasoning in relation to the context and the numbers involved
- • Elaboration modelling financial situations such as creating financial plans; for example, creating a budget for a class fundraising event, using a spreadsheet to tabulate data and perform calculations
- • Elaboration investigating how mathematical models involving combinations of operations can be used to represent songs, stories and/or dances of First Nations Australians
