Concept:
Geometry and Measurement Selected levels:
Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 Year level: Year 1
Content descriptor
To begin, the content descriptor that I have chosen for this assessment is “Measurement and Geometry (ACMMG061) – Using Units of measurement: Measure and compare the lengths and capabilities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units.” (australiancurriculum.edu.au) Curriculum connections
The concept I have chosen is about being able to understand and identify the difference between small, medium and large using objects or different materials. In my experience, size comes into when we are buying shoes for example: When need to try on a variety of different shoes to determine whether the shoe is too small or too big for your foot. Also, when measuring how tall you are is another way of incorporating size into your everyday life by standing against the wall and using a tape measure to determine if you are short, medium height and tall. Size can be taught in the classroom on an everyday basis when giving the children an opportunity to measure up different objects for example: putting a glue stick and a ruler next to one another and encouraging the children to using their knowledge of measuring to be able to identify which resource is bigger or small. This concept is a great way to teach the children about maths skills that we use in our everyday
lives. This includes using mathematical language such as Big and small, which are used in our everyday language and in the classroom to describe different objects and when engaging in conversation’s. Resource
The resource that I have chosen to incorporate for a lesson is using two different objects such as an apple and a banana. I will introduce this activity by first having a discussion on

September 2019 UNIT NAME: The World Of Maths ELA: Yin Voong small, medium and large. After the discussion the teacher will have an apple and banana and then using the two fruits provided, they will be placed next to one another and the children as a whole group will use the skill of measurement to identify which fruit is bigger using length, width and height. An apple is wider and is a 3-dimensional shape, whereas the banana is long but not as wide as an apple. Then the activity will end with another discussion on how we thought the activity went and asking the children whether they now
have an idea of size. After this, the children will then have a discussion with the teacher and their peers about what they thought the activity was about and what they have learnt from this activity. Rationale
When engaging in this hands-on experience, the children will gain a better understanding and knowledge on being able to compare the lengths and capabilities of different objects. This experience reflects on everyday life as the children had to figure out which fruit was smaller, and which one was bigger engaging in size. This resource can help enhance engagement by making it more exciting than using just work sheets or ICT resources, it draws on students interests and also promotes healthy eating by using the fruits. “
We want to create young mathematicians who understand and enjoy the subject. Mulligan et al. (2012, p. 9)” During this activity the mathematical language that is being used is big, small, large and medium which identifies size. In our everyday lives we use size in a range of contexts such as sizing clothes using small, medium, large and extra-large. When buying a meal, you have the choice of small, medium or large which indicates what size meal you will have. This hands-on experience encourages the children to not always rely on technology to learn, instead having different resources for learning such as books, work sheets and using real life objects.

Measurement and Geography
Selected levels:
Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 Year level: Year 2 Content descriptor
For this year level, year 2, I will further extend the learning of Size by focusing on area, volume, length and capacity. My content descriptor will be Measurement and Geography (ACMMG037) – compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units. (Australian Curriculum). Curriculum connections
The concept is now going more into depth, as the children will begin to start learning about area, volume and capacity and while still engaging in length just extending their learning. This extends on the learning from Year One with comparing lengths. This builds on the year before as the children will need to use volume to measure different things by comparing a table and a cup. A cup has volume as you are able to put something inside of it, a table does not have volume as there is nowhere that you are able to place anything inside of the table. These skills are seen in the real world when packing boxes to determine how much can fit in the box by using length, width and height. Or when filling up a cup with some water by pouring the water and filling it up until it cannot hold any more water as the cup will be full. Engaging in these everyday experiences teaches the children the importance of using and gaining knowledge of size, volume, length, area and capacity. This can also be used in the classroom on a daily basis when placing books into a box, figuring out how many books will be able to fit into the box until it is full by using volume.

September 2019 UNIT NAME: The World Of Maths ELA: Yin Voong Resource
The resource I have chosen for this content descriptor is an online game called Cubirocks 2. Cubirocks 2 can be used to encourage the children to engage in extending and gaining knowledge on area, volume, length and capacity by using their recognition skills to be able to identify and compare the shapes to one another by thinking about what the width, volume and length of the shape is and
if they match to one another. This
activity will further extend on size by
talking about volume of how much
can fit in or the length of the object.
They will use the red cube to measure
how many yellow cubes there are by
using volume to identify this and
match the correct number of blocks.
The children will engage in this either
in pairs or groups of three and they can work together to complete this online activity. Rationale
Using ICT in the classroom gives the teachers and children different opportunities to engage in learning mathematics by using worksheets, online games, interactive whiteboard games and watching videos. “Using mathematics knowledge embodied in computer technology, teachers and students can potentially experience mathematics in ways that are different from traditional school curricula.” (Roberts et al.,2013, p.544). This online game that I chose to incorporate into the class room for year 2 students allows for active learning while using technology. When engaging in activities like this, it encourages the children to work together in pairs of as a whole group to be able to help each other engage confidently and brings an interest as they are not alone while doing it. Using this resource can help develop the maths concepts as it gets the children to compare the cubes
to measure the volume of the squares to identify the correct amount. ICT gives the children endless amount of opportunities to engage in learning.

Geometry and Measurement Selected levels:
Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 Year level: Year 3
Content descriptor
The content descriptor that I have chosen for year 3 students is Measurement and Geometry (ACMMG061) – Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity. They will learn how to identify units of measurements, kilograms, grams and litres. Curriculum connections
Engaging in units of measurements extends on the children’s learning of capacity and volume. In our everyday lives we use measurements when we do grocery shopping for example, when measuring fruit or vegetables you would use the scales to measure the number of kilograms you have of the selected foods. We use measurements in our everyday lives to participate in daily activities. These skills are used in the real world when we are cooking, we need to use the measurements to have the correct amount of ingredients to create the right recipe. In the previous year the students learnt about volume, understanding how volume works by using cubes to measure the correct volume and counting how many of the cubes there were. Learning about measurements during school helps the children in gaining and understanding in knowing how to measure and understanding the measurements. On a daily basis we use measurement and geometry to get through life, without mathematics and numeracy we would all be stuck as we need this to engage in different activities and daily experiences to get through life.

The ICT resource that I have chosen to introduce to
the class via an interactive whiteboard is called
Capacity
(
https://www.splashmath.com/measurement-
games
), which as you can see by the picture I have
provided on the side. In this activity, it incorporates
capacity learning about measurements. The
students will use their thinking skills and recognition
of capacity to identify which item can hold more and
which item can hold less. They will each take turns
at using the interactive whiteboard to pick which
one they think is the correct answer to the question asked. This activity will be done one by one to let the children engage in this independently and without help from any peers which makes the child more confident in participating in these sorts of activities. This online experience develops the children’s thinking skills and cognitive skills to be able to apply maths. Rationale
This experience that I had chosen for the students engaged in ICT which was beneficial I believe as the children had the opportunity to participate in this independently which made them challenge themselves to be able to do it on their own. Connecting our learning
to the real world is beneficial as it allows us to engage in activities in the classroom that we
would encounter in the real-life world for example, when measuring ingredients for cooking, we need to measure out the correct amount that it says in the recipe to be able to make it correctly as I said in the curriculum connections. ICT is a great way to encourage
children to participate as technology is used for everything in our generation now days and
the children have a massive interest in using technology so, using these games and resources are a great way to encourage the children to join in. Using ICT as a resource assists in engaging the children as they can learn by participating in online games, using different programs on the computers or iPad, engaging in different applications that are based on mathematics and numeracy. Watching educational videos and music also engages in the children’s interest to extend their learning. When using technology, it
