Achievement standard (what coverage means)
- •They recognise equivalent fractions and make connections between fraction and decimal notations.
- •Students order events or the outcomes of chance experiments in terms of likelihood and identify whether events are independent or dependent.
- •They use mathematical modelling to solve financial and other practical problems, formulating the problem using number sentences, solving the problem choosing efficient strategies and interpreting results in terms of the situation.
- •They find unknown values in numerical equations involving addition and subtraction.
- •Students use the properties of odd and even numbers.
- •They choose rounding and estimation strategies to determine whether results of calculations are reasonable.
- •Students follow and create algorithms that generate sets of numbers and identify emerging patterns.
- •They use scaled instruments and appropriate units to measure length, mass, capacity and temperature.
- •Students create many-to-one data displays, assess the suitability of displays for representing data and discuss the shape of distributions and variation in data.
- •They identify line and rotational symmetry in plane shapes and create symmetrical patterns.
- •They convert between units of time when solving problems involving duration.
- •They represent and approximate shapes and objects in the environment.
- •Students count and represent fractions on a number line.
- •Students create and interpret grid references.
- •Students measure and approximate perimeters and areas.
- •Students compare angles relative to a right angle using angle names.
- •Students use their proficiency with addition and multiplication facts to add and subtract, multiply and divide numbers efficiently.
- •They use surveys and digital tools to generate categorical or discrete numerical data in statistical investigations and communicate their findings in context.
- •By the end of Year 4, students use their understanding of place value to represent tenths and hundredths in decimal form and to multiply natural numbers by multiples of 10.
- •They conduct repeated chance experiments and describe the variation in results.
