Mathematics

The study of mathematics is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10. 

By studying mathematics, students learn to work mathematically – developing fluency, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills.

The syllabus consists of the following strands:

  • number and algebra
  • measurement and geometry
  • statistics and probability.

In 2024, all K-6 students will be using the new mathematics syllabus. 

Mathematics K–10 outcomes and their related content are organised in:

  • Number and algebra
  • Measurement and space
  • Statistics and probability

Within each of these areas, there are focus areas. 

To highlight how these processes are interrelated, in Mathematics K–10 there is one overarching Working mathematically outcome.
