This formative assessment task evaluates students' proficiency in solving addition and subtraction money problems through modelling. Designed for both pre and post-assessment, it challenges students to identify the appropriate operation and subsequently solve the problems.
Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive situations, including simple money transactions; represent the situations with diagrams, physical and virtual materials, and use calculation strategies to solve the problem
Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts
Recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. Locate these numbers on a number line
Recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Applies place value, informally, to count, order, read and represent two- and three-digit numbers
Uses a range of strategies and informal recording methods for addition and subtraction involving one- and two-digit numbers
Uses number bonds and the relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems involving partitioning
Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts
Recognise the importance of repetition of a process in solving problems
Recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. Locate these numbers on a number line
Recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value
Represent practical situations that model sharing
