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 2
Create simple maps and plans from an aerial view, labelling grid references
Identify and mark locations on maps and plans, given their grid references
Use a given grid map and compass directions (N, S, E, W) to plan, describe and show a route from one location to another
Use natural resources or landmarks to identify north, south, east, west
Relate compass directions to amounts of turn
Describe a return journey between 2 locations on a grid map (Reasons about spatial orientation)
Select and use an appropriate scaled instrument to measure Loading and distances
Select and use an appropriate unit to estimate, measure and compare lengths and distances
Recognise the features of a three-dimensional Loading associated with length that can be measured
Use the term perimeter to describe the distance around the boundary
Estimate and measure the perimeters of quadrilaterals
Convert between metres and centimetres, and between centimetres and millimetres
Record lengths and distances using Loading notation to 2 decimal places
Compare Loading to a right angle using an informal means
Recognise and describe angles as less than, equal to, about the same as or greater than a right angle
Describe angles in comparison to quarter-turns as Loading , right, Loading , straight, Loading or a revolution
Identify the arms and Loading of an angle where one arm is visible and the other arm is invisible
