K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022)
The new Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) is to be implemented from 2024 and replaces the Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2012).
School sectors are responsible for implementing syllabuses and are best placed to provide schools with specific guidance and information on implementation given their understanding of their individual contexts.
Content
Early Stage 1
- MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- MAE-RWN-01
demonstrates an understanding of how whole numbers indicate quantity
- MAE-RWN-02
reads numerals and represents whole numbers to at least 20
Instantly recognise (subitise) the number of items in small groups of up to four items without counting
Identify the number of items in different arrangements
Count forwards to at least 30 and state the number after or before a given number, without needing to count from one
Identify and distinguish the ‘teen’ numbers from Loading of ten with the same initial sounds
Count backwards from a given number 20 or less
Identify the number before as 'one less' and the number after as 'one more’ than a given number
Recognise dice and domino dot Loading
Recognise different finger patterns for the same number
Count with one-to-one correspondence, recognising that the last number name represents the total number in the collection
Count out a specified number of Loading (from 5 to 20) from a larger collection, keeping track of the count
Make correspondences between collections (Reasons about quantity)
Read numerals to at least 20, including zero
Represent numbers as quantities to at least 20 using objects (such as fingers), number words and numerals
Compare and order numbers to 20
Use the term ‘is the same as’ to express equality of groups (Reasons about quantity)
