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.
