Recognise the relationships between dollars and cents and represent money values in different ways
Recognise and extend the application of place value to tenths and hundredths and use the conventions of decimal notation to name and represent decimals
Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations including financial contexts; formulate the problems using number sentences and choose efficient calculation strategies, using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation
Choose and use estimation and rounding to check and explain the reasonableness of calculations including the results of financial transactions
Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value
