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-LIN-P-01
describes and applies transformations, the midpoint, gradient/slope and distance formulas, and equations of lines to solve problems (Path: Adv)
Stn (Standard), Adv (Advanced) and Ext (Extension) have been used to suggest paths for related Stage 6 courses.
Apply the gradient formula to find the gradient of the interval joining 2 points on the Cartesian plane
Apply the distance formula to find the distance between 2 points on the Cartesian plane
Graph the equation of a straight line in any form
Use the gradient and the point–gradient form to find the equation of a line passing through 2 points
Find the equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to a given line in any form
Determine and justify whether 2 given lines are parallel or perpendicular
Solve problems including those involving geometrical figures by applying coordinate geometry formulas
Identify lines (axes) and rotational symmetry in plane shapes
Identify line and rotational symmetry in various linear and non-linear graphs
