What Year 3 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 3 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students conduct guided statistical investigations involving categorical and discrete numerical data, and interpret their results in terms of the context.
- They use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving single-digit multiplication and division, recalling multiplication facts for twos, threes, fours, fives and tens, and using a range of strategies.
- They create algorithms to investigate numbers and explore simple patterns.
- Students represent unit fractions and their multiples in different ways.
- Students use familiar metric units when estimating, comparing and measuring the attributes of objects and events.
- By the end of Year 3, students order and represent natural numbers beyond 10 000.
The Probability progression either side of AC9M3P01
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Builds towards · Year 4
- AC9M4P01describe possible everyday events and the possible outcomes of chance experiments and order outcomes or events based on their likelihood of occurring; identify independent or dependent events
- AC9M4P02conduct repeated chance experiments to observe relationships between outcomes; identify and describe the variation in results
