K–10Mathematics K–10 Syllabus
Mathematics for K−2
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
- MA2-3DS-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 features of prisms and pyramids (faces, vertices and edges) and cylinders (curved/flat surfaces and boundaries) from images
Create sketches of rectangular prisms and pyramids, showing depth
Create sketches of three-dimensional objects from different views, including top, front and side views (Reasons about spatial relations)
Draw different views on isometric grids of an object constructed from connecting cubes
Interpret given drawings to make models of three-dimensional objects using connecting cubes (Reasons about spatial visualisation)
Recognise the need for a formal unit smaller than the litre to measure capacity (internal volume)
Use a scaled instrument to relate 1000 millilitres to one litre
Relate benchmark values to familiar everyday containers
Calibrate a container by marking 100 mL increments to measure capacity (internal volume) to the nearest 100 mL
Record capacity (internal volume) using the abbreviation for millilitres (mL) and litres (L)
Compare and order the capacities (internal volumes) of 2 or more containers measured in millilitres
Estimate the capacity (internal volume) of a container to common benchmark values, such as 250 mL, and check by measuring
