Other Work Samples for:

Pat has demonstrated a limited level of competence in comparing the length of different objects. An attempt has been made to order the objects according to length but the ends of the objects have not been aligned. Pictorial representations have been used to record the comparisons informally but the process of comparison has not been explained or demonstrated. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing below the expected standard at the end of Kindergarten.

Foundation Statement strands

The following strands are covered in this activity:

  • Working Mathematically
    Students ask questions and explore mathematical problems. They use everyday language, materials and informal recordings to demonstrate understanding and link mathematical ideas.
  • Measurement and Data
    Students identify length, area, volume, capacity and mass and compare and arrange objects according to these attributes. They name the days of the week and the seasons and they order events in a school day, telling the time on the hour. Students use objects and pictures to create a data display and interpret data.
