Houses

This unit seeks to connect learning outcomes across all five content strands, number, geometry, statistics, algebra, and measurement.  The context of houses is used to develop concepts such as drawing and modelling 3-dimensional objects, using co-ordinate systems to locate position, finding all the possibilities of events, and identifying paths through simple networks.  The unit provides an excellent vehicle for students to use a broad range of problem solving strategies.

Level Three > Geometry and Measurement
Achievement Objectives:

Achievement Objective: Use linear scales and whole numbers of metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), angle, temperature, and time.
Achievement Objective: Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features.
Achievement Objective: Represent objects with drawings and models.
Achievement Objective: Use a co-ordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths.
Achievement Objective: Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental results with expectations from models of all the outcomes, acknowledging that samples vary.
