OUTCOME
A student:
MAe-14MG: manipulates, sorts and represents three-dimensional objects and describes them using everyday language
TEACHING POINT | The term ‘shape’ refers to a two-dimensional figure. The term ‘object’ refers to a three-dimensional figure. |
| Manipulation of a variety of real objects and shapes is crucial to the development of appropriate levels of imagery, language and representation. | |
| Local landmarks include buildings, rivers, rock formations and bridges, as well as Aboriginal landmarks. Aboriginal landmarks may include contemporary landmarks and local points of interest. Local Aboriginal communities and education consultants can provide examples |
| LANGUAGE | Students should be able to communicate using the following language: object, shape, size, curved, flat, pointy, round, roll, slide, stack. |
EXPECTATIONS OF ATTAINMENT
Sort, describe and name familiar three-dimensional objects in the environment (ACMMG009) | describe the features of familiar three-dimensional objects, such as local landmarks including Aboriginal landmarks, using everyday language, eg flat, round, curved |
| sort three-dimensional objects and explain the attributes used to sort them, eg colour, size, shape, function | |
| recognise and use informal names for three-dimensional objects, eg box, ball | |
| manipulate and describe a variety of objects found in the environment | |
| predict and describe the movement of objects, eg ‘This will roll because it is round’ | |
| make models using a variety of three-dimensional objects and describe the models, eg ‘I made a model of a person using a ball and some blocks’ |
