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.

applies knowledge of volume and capacity to solve problems involving right prisms and cylinders
Represent prisms from different views in 2 dimensions, including top, side, front and back views
Describe and illustrate solids formed from prism Loading from different views in 2 dimensions, including top, side, front and back views
Identify and illustrate the Loading of different prisms
Examine the idea that prisms have a Loading cross-section that is equal to the Loading area
Determine if a particular solid has a uniform cross-section
Develop the formula for the volume of a prism: , leading to
Apply the formula for the volume of a prism to prisms with uniform cross-sections to solve problems
Develop and apply the formula to solve problems involving the volume of cylinders: where is the length of the radius of the base and is the perpendicular height
Recognise that 1000 L is equal to 1 kilolitre (kL) and use the abbreviation
