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
- MA1-2DS-01
recognises, describes and represents shapes including quadrilaterals and other common polygons
- MA1-2DS-02
measures and compares areas using uniform informal units in rows and columns
Make representations of Loading Loading and Loading of shapes in different orientations
Combine and split single shapes and arrangements of shapes to form new shapes (Reasons about spatial relations)
Identify full, half and quarter turns of a single shape and describe the movement of the shape
Identify and describe directions of turns as ‘left turn’, ‘right turn’, ‘clockwise’ or ‘anti-clockwise’
Connect the use of quarter and half turns to the turn of the minute hand on a clock for the passing of quarter and half-hours (Reasons about relations)
Perform full, half and quarter turns with a single shape
Describe the result of a turn of a shape
Determine the repeating Loading formed by quarter turns
Cover Loading Loading by creating repeated rows of Loading tiles
Use a single square to create the Loading structure of area in rows and columns
Use the structure of repeated units to find the area of a rectangle
Explain how the grid structure of rows and columns helps to find the area (Reasons about spatial structure)
Compare the areas of two or more surfaces that cannot be moved, or Loading , by measuring in Loading informal units
Record comparisons of area using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal unit used
