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 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-LIN-C-01
creates and displays number patterns and finds graphical solutions to problems involving linear relationships
Plot and label points on the Loading , including those with coordinates that are not whole numbers
Identify and record the coordinates of given points on the Cartesian plane, including those with coordinates that are not whole numbers
Construct a geometric Loading and record the results in a table of values
Represent a given number pattern (including decreasing patterns) using a table of values
Describe a number pattern in words and generate an Loading using algebraic symbols
Apply an equation generated from a pattern to calculate the corresponding value for a smaller or larger number
Recognise that a Loading can be represented by a number pattern, an equation (or a rule using algebraic symbols), a table of values, a Loading of pairs of coordinates and a Loading graphed on a Cartesian plane, and move flexibly between these representations
Explain that there are an infinite number of ordered pairs that satisfy a given linear relationship by extending a line joining a set of points on the Cartesian plane
Compare similarities and differences of multiple straight-line Loading on the same set of axes using graphing applications
Describe linear relationships in real-life contexts and solve related problems
Recognise that each point on the graph of a linear relationship satisfies the equation of a line
Apply graphs of linear relationships to solve a corresponding Loading using graphing applications
Graph 2 intersecting lines on the same set of axes and identify the point of intersection using either graphing applications or a table of values
Verify that the point of intersection satisfies the equations of both lines
