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
Combine common Loading Loading , including quadrilaterals, to form other common shapes or designs
Split a given shape into 2 or more common shapes and describe the result
Record the arrangements of common shapes used to create other shapes
Create and record tessellating designs by Loading , Loading and rotating Loading or quadrilaterals
Apply and describe amounts of rotation, including half-turns, quarter-turns and three-quarter-turns, when creating designs
Measure the areas of Loading and right-angled triangles using a square-centimetre grid overlay
Estimate the areas of shapes found in the environment using efficient strategies (non-count-by-one) with a grid overlay
Recognise that rectangles with different Loading Loading can have the same area
Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square centimetres
Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square metres
