AC9M6SP03 Year 6 Mathematics

This Content Descriptor from Year 6 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.

recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate

Elaborations

• 1 understanding that the Cartesian plane provides a graphical or visual way of describing location with respect to a fixed origin
• 2 understanding that the axes are number lines that can have different scales, including fractions and decimals, depending on purpose
• 3 understanding that the horizontal coordinate is written first and is changed if there is a move to the left or right, whereas a move up or down will change the vertical coordinate
• 4 using the Cartesian plane to draw lines and polygons, listing co-ordinates in the correct order to complete a polygon
• 5 exploring how coordinates can be used to input positional data for artificial intelligence systems to locate positions in an image or other two-dimensional space
• 6 investigating and connecting land or star maps used by First Nations Australians with the Cartesian plane through a graphical or visual way of describing location
