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 …

How is the numeracy progression related to the Australian Curriculum?
Numeracy skills are explicit teaching in the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Students need opportunities to recognise that mathematics is constantly used outside the mathematics classroom and that numerate people apply general mathematical skills …
