Learning goals

  • We are learning to show that one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways, such as partitioning two-digit numbers into tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to count collections to 100 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to show that two- and three-digit numbers can be partitioned and re-named in different ways, such as partitioning three-digit numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections to 1000 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
  • We are learning to identify and describe possible outcomes by conducting chance experiments.
  • We are learning to describe possible everyday events, order their chances of occurring and determine independent or dependent events.
  • We are learning to describe possible everyday events and order their chances of occurring.

VCMSP147 Conduct chance experiments, identify and describe possible outcomes and recognise variation in results VCMNA105 Group, partition and rearrange collections up to 1000 in hundreds, tens and ones to facilitate more efficient counting VCMNA088 Count collections to 100 by partitioning numbers using place value VCMNA086 Develop confidence with number sequences to and from 100 by ones from any starting point. Skip count by twos, fives and tens starting from zero VCMSP175 Describe possible everyday events and order their chances of occurring VCMSP176 Identify everyday events where one cannot happen if the other happens VCMSP177 Identify events where the chance of one will not be affected by the occurrence of the other
