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
Stage 2
- 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
- MA2-NSM-01
estimates, measures and compares the masses of objects using kilograms and grams
- MA2-NSM-02
represents and interprets analog and digital time in hours, minutes and seconds
Recognise the need for a formal unit to measure Loading
Identify familiar Loading that have a mass of about one kilogram
Record masses using the abbreviation for kilograms (kg)
Find objects that have an estimated mass of more than, less than and about the same as one kilogram and check by comparing to a 1 kg mass
Use minutes to describe the duration of events
Identify 30 minutes as being a half-hour and 60 minutes as an hour
Connect the quarter-hour to 15 minutes
Recognise that the position of the numerals on an analog timepiece often represents 2 different values
Recognise that 5-minute intervals (corresponding to the hour markers) are used as benchmarks to read time on an analog clock
Read time as past the hour to half-past and then towards the hour
Read analog clocks to the minute
