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 5
- 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
- MA5-CIR-P-01
applies deductive reasoning to prove circle theorems and solve related problems (Path: Ext)
Stn (Standard), Adv (Advanced) and Ext (Extension) have been used to suggest paths for related Stage 6 courses.
Apply terminology associated with angles in circles
Identify the arc on which an angle at the centre or circumference stands
Demonstrate that at any point on a circle there is a unique tangent to the circle, and that this tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact
Prove chord properties of circles
Prove angle properties of circles
Apply chord and angle properties of circles to find unknown angles and lengths in diagrams
Prove tangent and secant properties of circles
Apply tangent and secant properties of circles to find unknown angles and lengths in diagrams
