Consultation – Proposed changes to P–10 Mathematics curriculum

Pre-primary to Year 10 Mathematics is being reviewed to adapt the current Western Australian curriculum, the New South Wales curriculum and Australian Curriculum version 9 within the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline. Proposed curriculum changes for Mathematics are now available for consultation.

The Authority has focused on improving the clarity of the content and providing exemplification of the content to support teachers in planning for teaching, learning and assessment.

Teachers and other stakeholders are invited to review the revised curriculum materials on the Authority’s website and complete the survey to provide feedback to the Authority.

To assist teachers and stakeholders in providing feedback to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) on the proposed curriculum, consultation workshops will be held in the metropolitan and regional areas. The workshops will familiarise stakeholders with the proposed curriculum content for Pre-primary to Year 10 Mathematics and provide participants with an understanding of changes to the learning area content.

There will be online and face to face workshops. The metropolitan workshops are planned for Leaders of Mathematics or their designated representative. The regional workshops will be held in Albany, Bunbury and Geraldton and are open to all teachers. The workshops will allow participants to discuss the proposed changes and complete the consultation feedback survey.

Registration for the Year 7 - 10 workshops (metropolitan and regional) can be found at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/events/consultation-workshops-year-7-to-year-10-mathematics-curriculum

The consultation window will be open from Monday 26 August until Friday 27 September 2024.

The revised curriculum materials for Mathematics will be available for familiarisation in 2025 and implementation in 2026. Teachers are reminded that the current Western Australian Curriculum is the mandated curriculum for Mathematics until advised otherwise.
