Planning tool

The resource organises the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics strands into topics. Each topic is mapped to the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, V9. To view the curriculum presented as a continuum across the strands organised by topics, select the relevant strand: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability.

These topics, commonly covered in schools, may contain more than one content description. Topics are also mapped to the Numeracy progression of the General Capabilities: Numeracy. The sub-element levels, such as Additive strategies, are labelled ‘P’ (progression) and the level number, for example P4 (meaning ‘progression level 4’).

View the Foundation–Year 6 content descriptions organised by topic. 

View the Years 7–10 content descriptions organised by topic. 

Each topic includes:

• the focus of teaching and learning with appropriate teaching strategies
• suggested resources for teaching and assessment
• common misconceptions
• learning from home activities.

The teaching and assessment resources have been selected based on their match to the Australian Curriculum version 9. In some cases, the resource may indicate a different year level from what is suggested in the planning tool.

The learning from home activities are designed to be used flexibly and can be used in a number of ways.

• Teachers may use the tasks to consolidate student learning and set students to do the task at home or at school. Learning undertaken at home can be shared as a class.
• Parents and carers supporting home schooling can use the tasks with their child.
• Students themselves may choose to use the tasks to reinforce their learning.

The learning from home activities for Foundation–Year 2 are designed to be completed with the help of a parent, carer or older family member.
