Geography links with other learning areas • Core units: Key understandings Years F–4 • Illustration 1: Pointers to understanding
What are the links between geography and other learning areas in Years F–4? What things can a primary teacher introduce to students?
ScienceFoundation level • Daily and seasonal changes in our environment, including the weather, and how the seasons affect everyday life
MathematicsFoundation level • Sort and classify familiar objects and explain the basis for these classifications. Copy, continue and create patterns with objects and drawings • Sort, describe and name familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in the environment • Describe position and movement
HistoryFoundation level • Students, their family and friends commemorate past events that are important to them
ScienceYear 1 • Living things live in different places where their needs are met • Observable changes occur in the sky and landscape
MathematicsYear 1 • Give and follow directions to familiar locations • Represent data with objects and drawings where one object or drawing represents one data value. Describe the displays
HistoryYear 1 • The present, past and future are signified by terms indicating time such as: • a long time ago • then and now • now and then • old and new • tomorrow … • They are also represented by dates and changes that may have personal significance such as birthdays, celebrations and seasons
ScienceYear 2 • Earth’s resources, including water, are used in a variety of ways • Living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves
MathematicsYear 2 • Interpret simple maps of familiar locations and identify the relative positions of key features • Collect, check and classify data • Create displays of data using lists, table and picture graphs and interpret them
HistoryYear 2 • The history of a significant person, building, site or part of the natural environment in the local community and what it reveals about the past • The impact of changing technology on people’s lives – at home and in the ways they worked, travelled, communicated, and played in the past
ScienceYear 3 • Living things can be grouped on the basis of observable features and can be distinguished from non-living things • Earth’s rotation on its axis causes regular changes, including night and day
MathematicsYear 3 • Create and interpret simple grid maps to show position and pathways • Collect data, organise into categories and create displays using lists, tables, picture graphs and simple column graphs, with and without the use of digital technologies
HistoryYear 3 • The importance of Country/Place to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who belong to a local area. This is intended to be a local area study, focusing on one language group. If information or sources are not readily available, another representative area may be studied • One important example of both change and continuityover time, in the local community, region or state/territory. For example, transport, work, education, natural and built environments, entertainment, daily life
EnglishYear 3 • Plan and deliver short presentations, providing some key details in logical sequence • Listen to and contribute to conversations and discussions to share information and ideas and negotiate in collaborative situations
ScienceYear 4 • Living things have life cycles • Living things, including plants and animals, depend on each other and the environment to survive • Earth’s surface changes over time as a result of natural processes and human activity
MathematicsYear 4 • Use simple scales, legends and directions to interpret information contained in basic maps • Construct suitable data displays, with and without the use of digital technologies, from given or collected data. • Include tables, column graphs and picture graphs where one picture can represent many data values
HistoryYear 4 • The diversity and longevity of Australia’s first peoples • The ways Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples are connected to Country and Place (land, sea, waterways and skies) and the implications for their daily lives
EnglishYear 4 • Interpret ideas and information in spoken texts and listen for key points in order to carry out tasks and use information to share and extend ideas and information • Plan, rehearse and deliver presentations incorporating learned content and taking into account the particular purposes and audiences
