Overview
Top-ups and Swap-outs for Currency and Measurement - Foundation Year is a Mathematics unit for Foundation Year students. It works in cooperation with Connecting Maths Concepts (CMC) Level A to ensure that delivery of CMC aligns with Australian Curriculum gap requirements.
It aligns to the Australian Curriculum:
  • Represent practical situations involving addition, subtraction and quantification with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies (AC9MFN05).
  • Identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning (AC9MFM01).
  • Sequence days of the week and times of the day including morning, lunchtime, afternoon and night time, and connect them to familiar events and actions (AC9MFM02).
