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 4
Typically by the end of Year 6, students:
Visualise 2D shapes and 3D objects
visualise, sort, describe and compare the features of objects such as prisms and pyramids in the environment
Interpret maps and diagrams
identify and describe routes and locations, using grid reference systems and directional language such as north or north east
