Students understand the need for a variety of and coins, and learn to determine their value. They explore simple equivalences. The exploration of the equivalence between a $10 note and ten $1 coins provides a foundation for the understanding of place value. Fluency Students use Australian coins and $10 notes in practical contexts. They practise counting by twos, fives and tens to pay for items. They practise decomposing two-digit numbers into tens and ones. Problem solving Students currency problems involving simple equivalences, including a problem with more than one solution. They identify, formulate and articulate strategies in a simple game. Reasoning Students deduce the need for coins that have a value of less than one dollar. They evaluate and justify the fairness of simple exchanges of currency. Diversity of learners The Australian Curriculum is based on the assumptions that each student can learn and that the needs of every student are important. These needs are shaped by individual learning histories and abilities as well as personal, cultural and language backgrounds, and socio-economic factors. Teachers may adapt or plan additional learning activities depending on the multiple, diverse, and changing needs of their students.
