What will students learn

 In this unit students experience a range of number and numeral systems to develop on their understanding of the base 10 place value system from primary years.

Students explore time to see that numeral systems can be used to group number in ways other than base 10. This provides students with a context in which to explore decomposition and regrouping of number. Students also meet the Indian and Mayan number systems. By exploring number systems with different bases, students become more aware of the patterns that exists in base 10

Key Knowledge that students should know at the end of 'Topic' This is the knowledge that students will meet for the first time in this topic  

Understand different formats of displaying time

Evaluate and represent time differences

Understand the structure of numerically displayed time

Compare and calculate with time

Understand the Indian base 10 number system

Compare and evaluate using the Indian number system

Understand Mayan numeral representation of number

Informally explore base 20 place value grouping

This is knowledge that students may have met before but will need to deepen their understanding  Familiarity with 12 hr and 24 hr representations Understanding how to read and write the time and date, Familiarity with a range of digital representations of time Compare and regroup between units of time, Read and write large numbers up to 1 billion Be aware of inequality notation, experience with tally representation Understand grouping by 5 and 2
