Understanding units of measurement description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to recognise attributes that can be measured and how units of measure are used and calculated. In making the transition from informal to formal units, a student attends to the structure …

Comparing units (ratios, rates and proportion) description
This sub-element addresses comparing units in ratios, rates and proportions. A ratio describes a situation in comparative terms, and a proportion is taken to mean when this comparison is used to describe a related situation in the same comparative terms. …

Measuring time description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly aware of the passage of time. A student appreciates units of time are associated with regularly occurring events, such as the rotation of Earth or the swing of a pendulum. They apply units …

Multiplicative strategies description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to use multiplicative strategies in computation. The coordination of units multiplicatively involves using the values of one unit applied to each of the units of the other, the multiplier. …

Understanding money description
The descriptive term decimal applied to money refers to the basic conversion units being multiples of ten. However, money is not a true decimal system. Amounts such as $2.99 are spoken as two whole numbers (2 dollars 99) and, due to the withdrawal of …
