Welcome to the Mathematics Curriculum Planning Workshop.
This workshop is designed to familiarise you with the Mathematics Framework and consider how the framework will require changes to your current teaching and assessment of your Mathematics courses.
If you complete the activities to a satisfactory standard and submit them, then you will be entitled to claim completion for TQI.
Here is a link to the Mathematics Framework.
Prepare a document with your answers to the questions and when the training is completed, send the document to BSSSenquiries@act.gov.au
Why was the Mathematics Framework reviewed in 2020 ?
Why was the Mathematics Framework reviewed in 2020 ?
BSSS cycle of continuous improvement and review.
Regular reviews are undertaken of all Frameworks.
Frameworks needed to be updated to align with Board endorsed policies.
The Review of BSSS Senior Secondary Curriculum (2015) recommended that frameworks reflect coherence and consistency in design, format and quality.
The Shape of the ACT Senior Secondary Curriculum (2016) provides guidelines and design specifications, based on ACARA course design, and relevant to ACT context.
Context for Framework Changes
Context for Framework Changes
Australian Curriculum courses (P-10) and Senior Secondary courses were adopted by the ACT government for use in ACT schools.
BSSS Senior Secondary courses are aligned with Australian Curriculum Version 8.6 courses P-10, and build on the learning.
ACARA Senior Secondary courses are under revision for minor changes to align with the new P-10 ACARA National Curriculum 9.0. There will be minor changes in the two years. Currently P-10 and 11-12 are not quite aligned.
A key difference from ACARA that affects our courses, is that units in courses do not have to be delivered sequentially, unlike the Australian Curriculum.

Teachers will consider the integration of the different parts of the curriculum in developing a Program of Learning that will engage students in learning in their context. They will choose relevant contexts and problems to teach and assess the concepts.
