K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus

Recognise that the grid-map reference system gives the area of a location and the number plane identifies a specific point

Identify that in the coordinate system the lines are numbered, not the spaces

Identify the point of intersection of the 2 axes as the origin, having coordinates (0, 0)

Plot and label points, given coordinates, on the number plane in the first quadrant, describing the horizontal position first, followed by the vertical position

Identify and record the coordinates of given points on the number plane in the first quadrant

Recognise the need for a formal unit longer than the metre for measuring distance

Estimate lengths and distances using an appropriate unit

Record distances using the abbreviation for kilometres (km)

Use a variety of measuring devices to measure lengths and distances in different contexts

Use efficient strategies to calculate the perimeter of a large rectangular area in metres

Calculate perimeters of common two-dimensional shapes, including squares, rectangles and triangles

Determine which side lengths are needed to find the perimeter of a shape (Reasons about relations)

Recognise that rectangles with the same perimeter may have different dimensions (Spatial reasoning)

Identify the arms and vertex of an angle where both arms are invisible, such as for rotations

Explain how a protractor is formed and used to measure an angle

Estimate and describe the size of angles using known angles as benchmarks (Reasons about mental rotation)

Record angle measurements using the symbol for degrees (°)

Measure angles of up to 360° using a protractor

Create angles of up to 360° using a protractor

Recognise that a right angle is 90°, a straight angle is 180° and an angle of revolution is 360°

Identify and describe angle size in degrees for the classifications acute, obtuse and reflex
