Numeracy K-6 (in PDHPE)
Numeracy in PDHPE is reflected in students becoming confident and able to apply mathematics in relation to health and physical activity concepts. Learning in PDHPE provides students with opportunities to use calculation, estimation, measurement and to collect, interpret and present data related to nutrition, fitness and physical activity. Initially students identify how their body moves in relation to effort, space and time. They apply analytical skills to show relationships when composing and performing movement sequences. Students apply data analysis skills to identify trends and patterns in health and physical activity behaviours to monitor and provide feedback on the body’s reaction to a range of physical activities. Students interpret and analyse health and physical activity information to recognise risks, make predictions and inform health decisions and choices.
EARLY STAGE 1
DAES1.7 Moves in response to various stimuli
- replicates simple combinations of skills, e.g. Hokey Pokey, Looby Loo
- mirror a partner while moving to stimuli
GSES1.8 Demonstrates fundamental movement skills while playing with and sharing equipment
- shows understanding of language used in games by responding to verbal and non-verbal instructions.
GDES1.9 Identifies how people grow and change
- can follow a basic timeline of human body growth and development
STAGE 1
DDMS1.2 Recalls past experiences in making decision
- sets simple goals, e.g. skipping 20 times without stopping
ALS1.6 Discusses the relationship between regular and physical activity and health
- contributes to class data collection of activities they like or do not like to play
- select and implement different movement skills and concepts to be successful in a game and/or sport
- invent games with rules using one or two pieces of equipment
- use stimuli e.g. equipment, rhythm, music and words to create games
DAS1.7 Performs simple dance sequences incorporating basic movement skills and patterns.
- shows movements with various parts of the body in response to words, music
- GSS1.8 Performs fundamental movement skills with equipment in minor games
- perform locomotor movements using different body parts to travel in different directions e.g. walk, run, gallop, hop, slide, skip, jump, leap
- demonstrate balances and describe what helps to maintain stable positions e.g. gymnastics static balance
STAGE 2
ALS2.6 Discusses the relationship between regular and varied physical activity and health
- keeps a log of activity using a spreadsheet and analyses patterns of participation over time.
- contributes to class data collection of physical activities (different purposes)
GSS2.8 Participates and uses equipment in a variety of games and modified sports
- explore and practise different techniques to propel objects towards a target e.g. run, jump and throw techniques in athletics
- perform routines that connect movements e.g. using rolling actions, weight transfer, flight and
- balances
- explore centre of gravity and stability as they perform balance activities with control and precision e.g. rhythmic and expressive activities
- demonstrate variations of force and speed in movement
GDS2.9 Describes life changes and associated feelings
- can create basic timeline of human body growth and development
PHS2.12 Discusses the factors influencing personal health choices.
- Use and interpret a simple key to determine food and drink health values
STAGE 3
DMS3.2 Makes informed decisions and accepts responsibility for consequences.
- Interprets nutritional data in order to discriminates between a variety of products that are healthy and unhealthy
GSS3.8 Applies movement skills in games and sports that require communication, cooperation, decision making and observation of rules.
- adapt movement techniques to cater for different equipment, games and sports e.g. accuracy, force, speed, distance, direction
- perform activities that involve a transition from one skill to another e.g. from dribbling to shooting or from leaping to balancing
- design a sequence of passes between teammates to maintain possession or move a piece of equipment from one point to another
GDS3.9 Explains and demonstrates strategies for dealing with life changes.
- Can create and annotate a timeline of human body growth and development
PHS3.12 Explains the consequences of personal lifestyle choices.
- compare food labels and suggest ways to improve the nutritional value of meals
DAS3.7 Performs a range of dance styles and sequences confidently.
- create a movement sequence that demonstrates variations in flow and levels and involves individuals moving together in time
- work with a partner to explore pushing and pulling movements and how these can be manipulated to perform counter - balances
ALS2.6 Shows how to maintain and improve the quality of an active lifestyle
- keeps a log of activity/ nutrition/rest/ screentime using a table/ spreadsheet and analyses patterns of participation over time.
