Term 3 Math

Curriculum Links 

• Identify, describe, and sort 2D and 3D shapes, including ovals, semicircles, polygons (e.g., hexagons, pentagons), rectangular prisms (cuboids),pyramids, hemispheres, and cones, using the attributes of shapes.

• Anticipate which smaller shapes might be used to compose a target shape, and then check by making the shape.

• Follow and give instructions to move people or objects to a different location, using direction, distances (e.g., number of steps), and half and quarter turns.

• Interpret diagrams to describe the positions of objects and places in relation to other objects and places.

• Use pictures, diagrams, or stories to describe the positions of objects and places.

• Visualise, identify, compare, and sort 2D and 3D shapes, using the attributes of shapes

• Identify right angles in shapes and objects.

• Compose and decompose 2D shapes using the attributes of shapes (e.g., lines of symmetry), other shapes, side lengths, and angles.

• Predict the result of a one-step transformation (reflection, translation, or rotation) on 2D shapes.

• Follow and create a sequence of step-bystep instructions (an algorithm) for moving people or objects to a different location. 

• Create and use a set of precise, step-by-step instructions to carry out a familiar routine or task

•  Identify, read, write (using symbols and words), and represent halves, quarters, and eighths as fractions of sets and regions, using equal parts of the whole.

• Directly compare two fractions involving halves, quarters, and eighths.

• Find a half and quarter of a set by identifying groups and patterns (rather than sharing by ones), and identify the whole set or shape when given a half or quarter.

• Identify, read, write, and represent halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, and eighths as fractions of sets and regions, using equal parts of the whole and by positioning on a number line.

• Compare and order fractions involving halves, quarters, and eighths and identify when two fractions are equivalent.

• Add and subtract unit fractions with the same denominator.

• Identify, read, write (using symbols and words), and represent halves, quarters, and eighths as fractions of sets and regions, using equal parts of the whole.

• Directly compare two fractions involving halves, quarters, and eighths

• Find a half and quarter of a set by identifying groups and patterns (rather than sharing by ones), and identify the whole set or shape when given a half or quarter.

• Find a unit fraction of a whole number (e.g., 1/3 of 15), and identify the whole set or amount when given a unit fraction (e.g., “ 1/4 of the set is 3, what is the whole set?”)
