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.

Stage 4
- 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
- MA4-LEN-C-01
applies knowledge of the perimeter of plane shapes and the circumference of circles to solve problems
Solve problems involving the perimeter of plane shapes, including parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses and kites
Solve problems relating to the perimeter of simple composite figures
Compare methods of solution for finding perimeter and evaluate the efficiency of those methods
Identify and describe the relationship between circle features, including the radius, diameter, arc, chord, sector and segment of a circle, and a tangent to a circle
Define as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle
Verify that the number is a constant and develop the formula for the circumference of a circle
Apply the formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of the diameter or radius (circumference of a circle or ) to solve related problems to solve related problems
Establish the arc length formula where is the arc length and is the angle subtended at the centre by the arc
Solve problems by finding arc lengths and the perimeter of sectors, giving an exact answer in terms of or an approximate answer
Find the perimeter of quadrants, semicircles and simple composite figures consisting of 2 shapes in a variety of contexts, including using digital tools
