New Zealand Curriculum Level 4
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:

National Standards
In contexts that require them to solve problems or model situations, students will be able to:
|
Measurement
- Use appropriate scales, devices, and metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), temperature, angle, and time.
- Convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals.
- Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.
- Interpret and use scales, timetables, and charts.
Shape
- Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.
- Relate three-dimensional models to two-dimensional representations, and vice versa.
Position and orientation
- Communicate and interpret locations and directions, using compass directions, distances, and grid references.
Transformation
- Use the invariant properties of figures and objects under transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement).
|
- measure time and the attributes of objects, using metric and other standard measures
- make simple conversions between units, using whole numbers
- use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles and parallelograms and the volumes of cuboids, given whole-number dimensions
- sort two- and three-dimensional shapes into classes, defining properties and justifying the decisions made
- identify and describe the transformations that have produced given shapes or patterns;
- create or identify nets for rectangular prisms and other simple solids
- draw plan, front, side, and perspective views of objects
- describe locations and give directions, using grid references, simple scales, turns, and points of the compass.

- use metric and other standard measures
- make simple conversions between units, using decimals
- use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids
- sort two- and three-dimensional shapes into classes, considering the relationships between the classes and justifying the decisions made
- identify and describe the features of shapes or patterns that change or do not change under transformation
- create or identify nets for rectangular prisms and other simple solids, given particular requirements
- draw or make objects, given their plan, front, and side views or their perspective views
- describe locations and give directions, using scales, bearings, and co-ordinates.
