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
- MA2-3DS-01
makes and sketches models and nets of three-dimensional objects including prisms and pyramids
- MA2-3DS-02
estimates, measures and compares capacities (internal volumes) using litres, millilitres and volumes using cubic centimetres
Identify the differences between prisms (including Loading ), pyramids and Loading
Construct models of prisms, pyramids and cylinders using physical or virtual manipulatives, identifying their features
Deconstruct everyday packages that are prisms (including cubes) to create Loading
Investigate the variety of nets that can be used to create a particular prism
Recognise the need for formal units to measure Loading accurately
Use the litre as a unit to measure capacities (internal volumes) to the nearest litre
Relate the litre to familiar everyday Loading
Recognise that one-litre containers can be a variety of Loading (Reasons about spatial structure)
Record capacities (internal volumes) using the abbreviation for litres (L)
Estimate the capacity (internal volume) of a container in litres and check by measuring
Construct rectangular prisms using cubic-centimetre blocks and describe the Loading in terms of layers
Record volumes using numerals and words
Compare the volumes of 2 or more Loading made from cubic-centimetre blocks
