General capabilities
Level 3: Typically, by the end of Year 4, students:
- Literacy:
- listen to spoken instructions with some detail for undertaking learning area tasks, listen to identify key information in spoken and multimodal texts and respond to texts read aloud
- interpret literal information and make inferences to expand topic knowledge using comprehension strategies
- use pair, group and class discussions about learning area topics as learning tools to explore and represent ideas and relationships, test possibilities and to prepare for creating texts
- Numeracy:
- estimate a solution to a problem and then check the solution by recalling addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts
- estimate the change from simple purchases
- ICT
- locate, retrieve or generate information from a range of digital sources
- create and modify simple digital solutions, creative outputs or data representation/ transformation for particular purpose
- Creative and Critical Thinking
- reflect on, explain and check the processes used to come to conclusions
- transfer and apply information in one setting to enrich another
- Personal and Social Capability
- persist with tasks when faced with challenges and adapt their approach where first attempts are not successful
