Space

2.0 Standard

… Students specify location as a relative position, including left and right, and interpret simple networks, diagrams and maps involving a small number of points, objects or locations.

3.5

• Representation of relationships within a family (people or animals) through use of a tree diagram (network)

4.0 Standard

… Students use network diagrams to show relationships and connectedness such as a family tree and the shortest path between towns on a map.

4.25

• Use of networks to display relationships between people and pathways between objects

4.5

• Representation of pathways between objects as part of a network

5.0 Standard

… Students use network diagrams to specify relationships.

They consider the connectedness of a network, such as the ability to travel through a set of roads between towns.

5.5

• Identification of paths and circuits in network diagrams that illustrate connections between objects, locations and events

6.0 Standard

… Students describe and use the connections between objects/location/events according to defined relationships (networks).

6.25

• Use of networks and properties to solve practical problems involving paths and circuits, length and coverage

Working Mathematically

2.75

• Rephrasing of a problem or representing it using a physical model, diagram, list or table as a problem solving strategy

6.25

• Consistent, accurate and appropriate use of mathematical notation, symbols, diagrams and graphs in solving problems and in the presentation of mathematical arguments

Structure

3.25

• Conversion between venn diagrams and karnaugh maps as representations of relationships between two sets

5.0 Standard

… Students use venn diagrams and tree diagrams to show the relationships of intersection, union, inclusion (subset) and complement between the sets.

Measurement, chance and data
