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-2DS-01
sorts, describes, names and makes two-dimensional shapes, including triangles, circles, squares and rectangles
- MAE-2DS-02
describes and compares areas of similar shapes
Identify familiar Loading in a range of contexts
Sort shapes according to features such as size and shape
Recognise and explain how a group of shapes has been sorted (Reasons about spatial relations)
Describe shapes, including circles, Loading , Loading and Loading
Ask and respond to questions that help identify and name a particular shape
Distinguish examples of triangles from non-examples
Manipulate circles, squares, triangles and rectangles, and describe their features
Turn shapes to fit into or match a given space (Reasons about spatial relations)
Make representations of shapes in a variety of ways, using paint, paper, movements or technology
Make pictures and designs using a selection of shapes
Make Loading shapes by tracing around the faces of three-dimensional Loading
Identify and draw Loading and Loading
Make Loading and identify the Loading of area as the measure of the amount of surface
Use comparative language to describe areas
Predict which of two surfaces will have the larger area and justify the answer (Reasons about spatial relations)
Compare areas of two similar shapes directly by drawing, tracing, or cutting and pasting
