Measurement > Time

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Describe the duration and sequence of events using years, months, weeks, days and hours.

What this means

This is the first mention of duration of time. Students are not expected to time events exactly but refer to events using the language of time.
e.g. “It takes a long/short time”.

  • No clocks. Clocks (analog) are first mentioned in Year 2.
  • Sequence refers to the order in which events occur in a cycle. Explicit reference to the calendar can help focus them on cyclical events such as days of the week and the months of the year.
