Geometry

New Zealand Curriculum Level 3

In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:

In contexts that require them to solve problems or model situations, students will be able to:

Measurement

• Use linear scales and whole numbers of metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), angle, temperature, and time.
• Find areas of rectangles and volumes of cuboids by applying multiplication.

Shape

• Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features.
• Represent objects with drawings and models.

Position and orientation

• Use a co-ordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths.

Transformation

• Describe the transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement) that have mapped one object onto another.
