identify and explain how images, figures, tables, diagrams, maps and graphs contribute to meaning

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• observing how sequential events can be represented visually by a series of images, including comic strips, timelines, photo stories, procedure diagrams and flowcharts, life-cycle diagrams and the flow of images in picture books
• observing how concepts, information and relationships can be represented visually through tables, maps, graphs and diagrams
• understanding that images and maps may be sensitive for First Nations Australians and ensuring that a disclaimer is applied or judgement is used about cultural appropriateness and sensitivities
