New Zealand Curriculum Achievement Objectives
- Mathematics Level 1: Number strategies
- Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions.
- Understand that technological outcomes are products or systems developed by people and have a physical nature and a functional nature.
- Understand that technology is purposeful intervention through design.
- Mathematics Level 1: Equations and expressions
- Communicate and explain counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies, using words, numbers, and pictures.
- Mathematics Level 1: Probability
- Investigate situations that involve elements of chance, acknowledging and anticipating possible outcomes
- Mathematics Level 2: Position and orientation
- Create and use simple maps to show position and direction.
- Generalise that whole numbers can be partitioned in many ways.
- Find rules for the next member in a sequential pattern.
- Give and follow instructions for movement that involve distances, directions, and half or quarter turns
- Mathematics Level 1: Shape
- Identify and describe the plane shapes found in objects
- Mathematics Level 2: Equations and Expressions
- Communicate and interpret simple additive strategies, using words, diagrams (pictures), and symbols
- Mathematics Level 2: Position and Orientation
- Mathematics Level 3: Patterns and relationships
- Generalise the properties of addition and subtraction with whole numbers.
- Connect members of sequential patterns with their ordinal position and use tables, graphs, and diagrams to find relationships between successive elements of number and spatial patterns
- Mathematics Level 3: Position and Orientation
- Use a co-ordinate system or the language of direction and distance to specify locations and describe paths
- Mathematics Level 3: Probability
- Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental results with expectations from models
- Technology Level 1: Characteristics of technology
- Understand that technology is purposeful intervention through design.
- Technology Level 1: Technological systems
- Understand that technological systems have inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs.
- Technology Level 1: Characteristics of technological outcomes
- Understand that technological outcomes are products or systems developed by people and have a physical nature and a functional nature.
- Technology Level 1: Brief Development
- Describe the outcome they are developing and identify the attributes it should have, taking account of the need or opportunity
- Technology Level 1: Outcome Development and Evaluation
- Investigate a context to communicate potential outcomes. Evaluate these against attributes; select and develop an outcome in keeping with the identified attributes.
- Technology Level 1: Planning for Practice
- Outline a general plan to support the development of an outcome, identifying appropriate steps and resources
- Technology Level 2: Planning for Practice
- Develop a plan that identifies the key stages and the resources required to complete an outcome
- Technology Level 2: Technological Systems
- Understand that there are relationships between the inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs occurring within simple technological systems.
- Technology Level 3: Technological systems
- Understand that technological systems are represented by symbolic language tools and understand the role played by the black box in technological systems.
- Health and Physical Education Level 1: Identity, sensitivity, and respect
- Demonstrate respect through sharing and cooperation in groups
- English Level 1: Speaking, writing and presenting
- Recognise how to shape texts for a purpose and an audience
