  11. Organisation of the curriculum General capabilities Cross-curriculum perspectives

  12. How is the draft K–10 Australian Curriculum for mathematics similar to the NSW syllabus? • Content strands • Proficiency strands

  13. How is the draft K–10 Australian Curriculum for mathematics different to the NSW syllabus? • Statistics and probability • Calculators appear to be introduced from as early as Kindergarten • Concept sequencing and terminology differences • Curriculum organised in Years not Stages • Content descriptions not outcomes • Year 10 and Year 10A not Stage 5.1,5.2 and 5.3

  14. General questions • Does the draft Australian mathematics curriculum support both excellence and equity? • Is the draft curriculum focused on the important ideas? • Is the draft curriculum coherent? In particular, does the sequence of development make sense in algebra, geometry, etc? • Is the draft curriculum internally consistent in the way it uses concepts from other strands (e.g. the introduction of the equality symbol and linear equations)?

  15. Specific questions • How does the draft curriculum provide support for the full range of students in your class? • How do the standards compare to the current NSW syllabus? • How is content organised in school years meant to assist the diverse range of learners? • How is Year 10A to be treated compared to Year 10?

  16. Identifying the issues and areas where support might be needed • Will teachers need to tailor the new curriculum to suit the needs of particular groups of students? Will they need support for this? • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students • ESL students • Students with learning difficulties • Students with disabilities • Gifted and talented students • Others? • Will teachers need professional learning and teaching resources to support the extra content in the Statistics and probability strand? • Will the Year 10A curriculum meet the prior knowledge requirements for the Year 11 and 12 mathematics courses? • CAS calculators are identified in the ICT general capability for mathematics. Will teachers need professional learning and teaching resources to support the introduction of this technology? • Any other support required for implementation?
