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 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-RN-01
applies an understanding of place value and the role of zero to represent numbers to at least tens of thousands
- MA2-RN-02
represents and compares decimals up to 2 decimal places using place value
Arrange numbers in the thousands in ascending and descending order
Recognise and describe how rearranging digits changes the size of a number (Reasons about relations)
Identify the nearest thousand, 10 thousand or 100 thousand to numbers
Name thousands using the place value grouping of ones, tens and hundreds of thousands
Use place value to expand the number notation
Partition numbers of up to 6 digits in non-standard forms
Recognise the number of tens, hundreds or thousands in a number
Describe how making a number 10, 100 or 1000 times as large changes the place value of digits
Divide a length representing one whole into 10 equal parts and label the divisions using decimal notation

Distinguish between the role of zero in various positions
Record equivalent measurements using decimals
Connect fraction strips showing tenths to a number line marked in hundredths
Compare and order decimals of up to 2 decimal places
Make connections between fractions and decimal notation for key benchmark values (Reasons about relations)
