This element involves students developing an understanding of the meaning of fractions and decimals, their representations as percentages, ratios and rates, and how they can be applied in real-life situations.
Students visualise, order and describe shapes and objects using their proportions and the relationships of percentages, ratios and rates to solve problems in authentic contexts. In developing and acting with numeracy, students:
- interpret proportional reasoning
- apply proportional reasoning.
Level 1a
Students:
Interpret proportional reasoning
recognise a ‘whole’ and ‘parts of a whole’ within everyday contexts
Apply proportional reasoning
Level 1b is the starting point for this sub-element
