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 3
Plot and label Loading , given Loading , in all 4 quadrants of the number plane
Identify and record the coordinates of given points on the number plane in all 4 quadrants
Describe changes to coordinates when a point is translated or reflected across an axis
Recognise the Loading of whole-number and Loading representations of measurements of Loading
Interpret decimal notation for lengths and distances
Record lengths and distances using decimal notation
Use decimal Loading to convert between metres and kilometres
Convert measurements to the same unit to compare lengths and distances
Explain and use the relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed
Investigate and compare perimeters of Loading with the same area
Determine the number of different rectangles that can be formed using whole-number dimensions for a given area (Reasons about spatial structure)
Solve a variety of problems involving length and perimeter, including problems involving different units of length
Recognise right Loading , angles on a straight Loading and angles at a point embedded in diagrams (Reasons about spatial orientation)
Identify the Loading and arms of angles formed by intersecting lines
Identify angle types formed by the intersection of straight lines, including right angles (90°), angles on a straight line (add to 180°) and angles at a point that form an angle of revolution (add to 360°)
Recognise that Loading lines intersect at right angles (90°)
Investigate Loading that form a right angle and establish that they add to 90°
Investigate adjacent angles on a straight line and establish that they add to 180°
Investigate angles at a point and establish that they form an angle of revolution and add to 360°
