Mathematics Level 2 Achievement Standard Example of Indicative Progress toward Level 3 Achievement Standard Mathematics Level 3 Achievement Standard By the end of Level 2: Students order shapes and objects, using informal units for a range of measures. They tell time to the quarter hour and use a calendar to identify the date, days, weeks and months included in seasons and other events. Students draw two-dimensional shapes, specify their features and explain the effects of one-step transformations. They recognise the features of objects. They interpret simple maps of familiar locations. In Mathematics, indicative progression towards the Level 3 achievement standard may be when students: compare images of digital and analogue 'clocks' and investigate the relationship between minutes, hours and days informally compare angle size in everyday situations with respect to quarter or half turns By the end of Level 3: Students use metric units for length, area, mass and capacity. They tell time to the nearest minute. Students identify symmetry in natural and constructed environments. They use angle size as a measure of turn in real situations and make models of three-dimensional objects. Students match positions on maps with given information and create simple maps.
CURRICULUM AREA – Mathematics: Measurement and Geometry toward Level 4 Achievement Standard VCAA EXAMPLE Context: Students cover related content and proficiencies when they engage in learning activities where they: measure quantities in recipes, make decisions about cooking times and measures temperatures using various kitchen implements and instruments construct and use simple ‘local area’ maps with attention to key features and a reasonable scale for distance Content Descriptions: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths, masses, capacities and temperatures Use simple scales, legends and directions to interpret information contained in basic maps Mathematics Level 3 Achievement Standard Example of Indicative Progress toward Level 4 Achievement Standard Mathematics Level 4 Achievement Standard By the end of Level 3: Students use metric units for length, area, mass and capacity. They tell time to the nearest minute. Students identify symmetry in natural and constructed environments. They use angle size as a measure of turn in real situations and make models of objects. Students match positions on maps with given information and create simple maps. In Mathematics indicative progression towards the Level 4 achievement standard may be when students: use measuring instruments from around the home in kitchen, bathroom and garage to measure in metric units specify straight distances between locations in simple maps using a provided scale By the end of Level 4: Students compare areas of regular and irregular shapes, using informal units. They solve problems involving time duration. Students use scaled instruments to measure length, angle, area, mass, capacity and temperature of shapes and objects. They convert between units of time. Students create symmetrical simple and composite shapes and patterns, with and without the use of digital technology. They classify angles in relation to a right angle. Students interpret information contained in maps.
