This element involves students making sense of the space around them.
Students visualise, identify and sort shapes and objects, describing their key features in the environment. They use symmetry, shapes and angles to solve problems in authentic contexts and interpret maps and diagrams, using scales, legends and directional language to identify and describe routes and locations. In developing and acting with numeracy, students:
- visualise 2D shapes and 3D objects
- interpret maps and diagrams.
Level 3
Typically by the end of Year 4, students:
Visualise 2D shapes and 3D objects
visualise, sort, identify and describe symmetry, shapes and angles in the environment
Interpret maps and diagrams
interpret information, locate positions and describe routes on maps and diagrams using simple scales, legends and directional language
