Describe position and movement (ACMMG010)
Give and follow directions to familiar locations,
involving turns, directions and distance,
interpreting and following directions around
familiar locations. (ACMMG023)
What words can the students brainstorm to
use on the signs for their playground/garden?
This represents the ‘student voice’ within the
learning of Curriculum. It also means if the
students are involved in making the signs
for direction. they are more likely to feel
ownership and want to invite their families in
to view, which in turn leads to increased family
involvement.

Position
MA1-16MG represents and describes the positions of objects in everyday situations and on maps
-  give and follow directions, including directions involving turns to the left and right, to move between familiar locations
-  describe the path from one location to another on drawings

Distance/Length
MA1-9MG measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, metres and centimetres
-  use the metre as a unit to measure lengths and distances to the nearest metre or half-metre

Working Mathematically
describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-1WM

Students are provided with a list of places within the school which they will need to make directional signs for. They choose within themselves which location within the school they would like to do.
Lesson 1 - Find their place within the school and make note of its location. Find a spot where it would be beneficial to place their sign to direct to that location. In the dirt, draw the location of the 'place' and the sign and draw arrows to show the direction to that place.
Lesson 2 - Measure the distance between the sign and the location using a metre calculator device. Note this down to use on the sign next lesson. Then measure using other things available outdoors, e.g. sticks, peers etc.
Lesson 3 (Art) - Design and create their sign using words, symbols and images. Signs will have the local Aboriginal word for the location, the English version of the word underneath and symbols and images that relate to the place. Have the distance in metres on the side of the sign with the arrow.
Lesson 4 - Pick a partner and direct them from the sign to your location. Students can direct them using compass directions, body movements or verbal cues.
Lesson 5 - Families and community members are invited to come and look at the signs created by the class. Have a class  & family yarning circle to discuss and share ideas and feedback.

This is the template for the initial design. The real sign will be painted on wood provided by the school.

Students will use this site to translate the locations to the local Awabakal language.

Community links - family and community members are invited to tour the school with the new school signs.
Symbols and images - students use symbols and images on their signs that they connect to the place the sign is going
Non-verbal - drawing arrows in the dirt to communicate direction
Land links - using landmarks within the school, and using the land to describe directions

I really like how you made the lesson idea into a unit plan!
The imagery and the links are fantastic supportive elements also.

Star- Highly engaging unit plan they I believe students in all years would respond really well to.

Star- Your different use of resources throughout your unit plan and the integration of other KLAs.

Star - Great overall unit plan. Being able to incorporate families and community is an important aspect of Indigenous culture.
Star - Including another KLA in a unit plan is always a productive use of students time.
Wish - Hopefully the Awabakal Dictionary provides translations for all of the locations. Students may be disappointed if they are unable to use this resource, but perhaps consultation with local Indigenous elders or community members may be able to provide further advice for this?
