The mathematics curriculum explores five topics: arithmetic, geometry, measurement, data processing, and problem-solving.
This course focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions, and relationships so that students can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
Grade 1/Year 2
Arithmetic: Representing the concepts of halves as fractions
Geometry and measurement: Distinguishing 2D and 3D shapes
Probability and statistics: Describe data, using familiar language including references to more, less, most, or at least to answer non-statistical questions and draw conclusions
Grade 2/Year 3
Arithmetic: Understand and visualize that sums, twos, and quarters can be combined to create new fractions
Geometry and metrology: Recognize 2D and 3D shapes in familiar objects
Probability and statistics: Describe data, identify similarities and differences to answer non-statistical and statistical questions, and draw conclusions
Grade 3/Year 4
Arithmetic: Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (in a sum)
Geometry and metrology: Visual recognition, drawings, and diagrams of 3D shapes
Probability and statistics: Interpret data, identify similarities and differences in data sets to answer non-statistical and statistical questions, and discuss conclusions
Grade 4/Year 5
Arithmetic: Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator
Geometry and measurement: Match the polygon mesh to the corresponding 3D shape
Probability and statistics: Interpret data, identify similarities and differences, within and between data sets, to answer statistical questions. Discuss conclusions, consider variations
Grade 5/Year 6
Arithmetic: Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of each other
Geometry and measurement: Define and outline different polygon meshes for a cube
Probability and statistics: Describe data, identify patterns in data sets to answer statistical questions. Discuss conclusions, examine variability
Grade 6/Year 7
Arithmetic: Add and subtract fractions with different denominators
Geometry and measurement: Define and sketch different meshes for cubes, cubes, prisms, and pyramids.
Probability and statistics: Describe data, identify patterns in data sets to answer statistical questions. Discuss conclusions, examine variability, and test predictions
