MA2-2DS-01 compares two-dimensional shapes and describes their featuresMA2-2DS-02 performs transformations by combining and splitting two-dimensional shapesMA2-2DS-03 estimates, measures and compares areas using square centimetres and square metresContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
2D shapes: Create two-dimensional shapes that result from combining and splitting common shapes
- Combine common two-dimensional shapes, including quadrilaterals, to form other common shapes or designs
- Split a given shape into 2 or more common shapes and describe the result
- Record the arrangements of common shapes used to create other shapes
2D shapes: Create symmetrical patterns and shapes
- Create and record tessellating designs by reflecting, translating and rotating triangles or quadrilaterals
- Apply and describe amounts of rotation, including half-turns, quarter-turns and three-quarter-turns, when creating designs
Area: Measure the areas of shapes using the grid structure
- Measure the areas of rectangles and right-angled triangles using a square-centimetre grid overlay
- Estimate the areas of shapes found in the environment using efficient strategies (non-count-by-one) with a grid overlay
- Recognise that rectangles with different side lengths can have the same area
Area: Compare surfaces using familiar metric units of area
- Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square centimetres
- Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square metres
