    Recognise, represent and order natural numbers using naming and writing conventions for numerals beyond 10 000 <ul> <li>moving materials from one place to another on a place value model to show renaming of numbers (for example, 1574 can be shown as one thousand, 5 hundreds, 7 tens and 4 ones, or as 15 hundreds, 7 tens and 4 ones)</li> <li>using the repeating pattern of place value names and spaces within sets of 3 digits to name and write larger numbers: ones, tens, hundreds, ones of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, ones of millions, tens of millions; for example, writing four hundred and twenty-five thousand as 425 000</li> <li>predicting and naming the number that is one more than 99, 109, 199, 1009, 1099, 1999, 10 009 … 99 999 and discussing what will change when one, one ten and one hundred is added to each</li> <li>comparing the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to other numeral systems; for example, investigating the Japanese numeral system, 一、十、百、千、 万</li> <li>comparing, reading and writing the numbers involved in more than 60 000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ presence on the Australian continent through timescales relating to pre-colonisation and post-colonisation</li> </ul>

    Add and subtract two- and three-digit numbers using place value to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to assist in calculations without a calculator <ul> <li>using partitioning and part-part-whole models and the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction to solve addition or subtraction problems, making informal written ‘jottings’ to keep track of the numbers if necessary</li> <li>using physical or virtual grouped materials or diagrams to make proportional models of numbers to assist in calculations, for example, to calculate 214 + 325, representing 214 as 2 groups of 100, one group of 10 and 4 ones and 325 as 3 groups of 100, 2 groups of 10 and 5 ones, resulting in 5 groups of 100, 3 groups of 10 and 9 ones, which is 539</li> <li>choosing between standard and non-standard place value partitions to assist with calculations, for example, to solve 485 + 365, thinking of 365 as 350 + 15, then adding the parts, 485 + 15 = 500, 500 + 350 = 850</li> <li>solving subtraction problems efficiently by adding or subtracting a constant amount to both numbers to create an easier calculation; for example, 534 − 395, adding 5 to both numbers to make 539 − 400 = 139</li> <li>justifying choices about partitioning and regrouping numbers in terms of their usefulness for particular calculations when solving problems</li> <li>applying knowledge of place value to assist in calculations when solving problems involving larger numbers; for example, calculating the total crowd numbers for an agricultural show that lasts a week</li> </ul>
