Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Interpret and create two-dimensional representations of familiar environments, locating key landmarks and objects relative to each other.

What this means

Reading and making simple maps (scale and co-ordinates NOT required).

  • Interpret; students follow maps.
  • Create; students make their own maps showing key landmarks.

Tips

  • The maps should be simple and relate to familiar places like a classroom.
  • In Year 2 students are required to locate positions in two-dimensional representations, whereas in year 3 are asked to interpret and create them.
