K−10 Draft Syllabus Version 2

The Mathematics K−10 Draft Syllabus Version 2 is now available!

 

The Board of Studies NSW has launched the latest draft syllabuses in an interactive online format designed to give quicker and easier access. You can navigate content by Stage or by Strand, immediately seeing progression across stages and transitions between Primary and Secondary. MANSW understands that additional features and functionality are planned.

 

The Board has provided a summary of changes made to the Mathematics K−10 Draft Syllabus Version 2 in response to the feedback in the first round of consultation held in 2011. Some highlights:
• alignment of ONE content outcome to each substrand in each Stage
• inclusion of ‘communicating’ as an additional component of Working Mathematically
• updates to the Background Information and Language sections
• re-sequencing of the content in the Two-Dimensional Space substrand in K−6, and the addition of an Angles substrand from Stage 2
• revision of the content of the Statistics and Probability strand
