K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus
Mathematics for K−2
The new syllabus must now be taught in Kindergarten to Year 2 in all NSW primary schools.
Mathematics for 3−10
The new syllabus is to be taught in Years 3 to 10 from 2024.
2024 – Start teaching the new syllabus
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
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
- MA1-3DS-01
recognises, describes and represents familiar three-dimensional objects
- MA1-3DS-02
measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal units
Describe three-dimensional Loading (prisms) using the terms ‘Loading ’, ‘Loading ’ and ‘Loading ’
Represent three-dimensional objects by making simple models
Recognise and name flat Loading of three-dimensional objects as Loading Loading
Make and use a device for measuring Loading calibrated in Loading informal units
Compare, order and record the internal volumes (capacities) of two or more Loading by measuring each container in uniform informal units
Estimate internal volume (capacity) by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used
Estimate the Loading of two or more models and check by counting the number of blocks used in each model
Compare models with different appearances, recognising when they have the same volume (Reasons about spatial structure)
Record the results of volume comparisons using drawings, numerals and words, referring to the units used
Explain that models made of the same number of units may have different volumes depending on the size of the units used (Reasons about spatial relations)
