Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

  • exemplars - p.100: the document prints this assessment code as "1.1.3.AS.2" - Year 1's sub-strand on a YEAR THREE page, beside 3.1.3.CS.1 and 3.1.3.LI.2. Filed under 3.1.3 because the section wins (guide item 1c) and because 1.1.3.AS.2 is already used in full on printed p.32. The assessment cell itself is transcribed exactly as printed
