The documents below describe the Numeracy Progressions for NSW public schools and for other schools in Australia and the Numeracy capability of the Australian curriculum:
1. The Numeracy Progressions for NSW schools (there is an Australian curriculum version and one re-described for NSW) - how students should be acquiring and progressing in numeracy - can be used to assess their progress
2. The Numeracy Progressions for Australian schools (there is an Australian curriculum version and one re-described for NSW) - how students should be acquiring and progressing in numeracy - can be used to assess their progress
3. The Numeracy Skills Framework for NSW - (being superseded by docs above) - The Numeracy Skills Framework provides teachers with the numeracy skills required by students at each stage of development across all syllabuses. The framework supports the successful integration of numeracy across the curriculum.
The range of numeracy skills from preschool to year 10 allows teachers to identify stage skills and assess students’ prior learning. Strategies for the successful integration of numeracy within each key learning area have also been included. This information is essential for devising lessons with appropriate differentiation strategies.
4. Numeracy as a general capability in the Australian Curriculum (describes how students use mathematics across other curriculum areas such as science, history, technology etc - the key ideas in numeracy are described in 6 areas)
