Learners are introduced to the idea that the police use footprints to estimate the height of criminals. Their prior knowledge is activated through a series of questions. They test the police’s idea by considering how they might measure their own height by using their feet, thinking critically and creatively. Then, learners test the idea by using their footprints to measure their height and comparing with others’ findings. |
Science and Technology
Being curious and searching for answers is essential to understanding and predicting phenomena.
The world around us is full of living things which depend on each other for survival.
Mathematics and Numeracy
The number system is used to represent and compare relationships between numbers and quantities.
Geometry focuses on relationships involving shape, space and position, and measurement focuses on quantifying phenomena in the physical world.
Statistics represent data, probability models chance, and both support informed inferences and decisions.
Languages, literacy and communication
Languages connect us.
Understanding languages is key to understanding the world around us.
Expressing ourselves through languages is key to communication.
