Draft nsw maths syllabus
- 1. The draft NSW Mathematics SyllabusSyllabus available from NSW Board of StudiesThe content in this presentation is not endorsed by the NSW Board of Studies
- 2. Timeline14 June – 22 August: ConsultationOctober 2011 Final Syllabus, Consultation Report and BoS EndorsementACARA to finalise achievement standards by OctoberTerm 4 Final Publication of Syllabus2Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 3. NSW BOS Syllabus ↔ ACARA AustCurricImplementation of the Australian Curriculum Content Descriptors, without changeNSW did not sign up to implement the elaborationsNSW Teachers only have to be concerned with NSW Syllabus (by implementing this, you implement the AC)3Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 4. Development of SyllabusThe Current NSW Syllabus document have been acknowledged as a ‘quality document’Direction taken from “direction for syllabus writers” documentTeam of both primary and secondary mathematics writers4Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 5. Features of the new SyllabusSection 1 (pg 8) – Introduction, the same for all subjectsSection 2 (pg 11) – Rationale (rewritten for NSW, not ACARA’sSection 3 (pg 12) – Place of the Mathematics CurriculumSection 4 (pg 14) – Aims (these are from Acara, although one has been left out and incorporated in the objectives)Section 5 (pg 15) – Objectives (Knowledge and Skills > WM, NA, MG, SP (new, from ACARA) and Values (updated)Section 9.2 (pg358) – Stage StatementsSection 10 (pg358) – Assessment5Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 6. Organisation of Content (p22)Target diagram on pg 22 now includes Yr 7-10 (previouslyJust K-6)6Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 7. Organisation of Content (p22)“Working Mathematically” Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning descriptions are from ACTable linking Stage 5 pathways to Stage 6 (i.e. the important topics for stage 6 courses)Additional content has been reviewed and restructuredCross-curriculum areas are from ACARA, but the descriptions have been written by BoS as to what they might look like for Maths. Some have not been included (e.g. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders / ASIA)7Thursday, 16 June 2011
- 8. Presentation of ContentPresented in stages (except for 7-10 life skills)Stage 5 is treated as one stage (i.e. 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 is all together for each substrandEach stage is arranged by the 3 AC strands and then substrandsGenerally content is in the stages prescribed by ACARA (some has been move earlier, e.g. Pythagoras’ Theorem has been moved to Stage 4, but is in Year 9 AC) – there was too much content in Stage 5, but not enough in stage 4Stage 4 and 5 substrands have been strengthened8Thursday, 16 June 2011
