Level Two: Geometry and Measurement

 

New Zealand Curriculum Level 2

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:

Year 3

Year 4

Measurement
  • Create and use appropriate units and devices to measure length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), turn (angle), temperature, and time.
  • Partition and/or combine like measures and communicate them, using numbers and units.
Shape
  • Sort objects by their spatial features, with justification.
  • Identify and describe the plane shapes found in objects.
Position and orientation
  • Create and use simple maps to show position and direction.
  • Describe different views and pathways from locations on a map.
Transformation
  • Predict and communicate the results of translations, reflections, and rotations on plane shapes.
  • measure the lengths, areas, volumes or capacities, and weights of objects and the duration of events, using linear whole-number scales and applying basic addition facts to standard units
  • sort objects and two- and three-dimensional shapes by their features, identifying categories within categories
  • represent reflections, translations, and rotations by creating and describing patterns
  • describe personal locations and give directions, using whole-number measures and half- or quarter-turns.
  • measure the lengths, areas, volumes or capacities, weights, and temperatures of objects and the duration of events, reading scales to the nearest whole number and applying addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication to standard units
  • sort objects and two- and three-dimensional shapes by two features simultaneously
  • represent and describe the symmetries of a shape
  • create nets for cubes
  • describe personal locations and give directions, using simple maps.
