K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus
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
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-CSQ-01
uses number bonds and the relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems involving partitioning
Apply the terms ‘add’, ‘plus’, ‘equals’, ‘is equal to’, ‘is the same as’, ‘take away’, ‘minus’ and ‘the difference between’ to describe combining and separating quantities
Recognise and use the symbols for plus (+), minus (–) and equals (=)
Record Loading in a variety of ways using drawings, words, numerals and symbols
Fluently use advanced count-by-one strategies including counting on and counting back to solve addition and subtraction problems involving one- and two-digit numbers (Reasons about relations)
Recognise, recall and record Loading of two numbers that add up or bond to form 10
Model and record Loading for individual numbers up to ten by making all possible whole-number combinations (Reasons about patterns)
Create, recall and recognise combinations of two numbers that add up to numbers less than 10
Describe combinations for numbers using words such as more than, less than and double (Reasons about relations)
Use non-count-by-one strategies such as using doubles for near doubles and combining numbers that add to ten
Represent addition and subtraction using structured materials such as a bead string or similar model
Select and apply strategies using Loading to solve addition and subtraction problems with one- and two-digit numbers by Loading numbers using Loading and bridging to 10 (Reasons about relations)
Use the Loading to record Loading number sentences involving addition, and to mean 'is the same as', rather than as an indication to perform an Loading (Reasons about relations)
Model the Loading for addition and apply it to aid the recall of addition facts (Reasons about relations)
Recall related addition and subtraction facts for numbers to at least 10 (Reasons about relations)
