This post is a single point to access some of the resources I'm developing as I investigate the new Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022) released by the NSW Education Standards Authority. Documents below are based on Mathematics K-10 Syllabus, NESA, 2022. They are not authorised NESA documents. They are for planning and review purposes only. Shared for use by teachers in schools only. Over on MathsLinks, I've started aligning content to the new K-10 syllabus. 1. Continuum of learning  Stage 5 to Stage 6 Standard PDF, 175 KB  Stage 5 to Stage 6 Advanced PDF, 159 KB ..read more

In 2017 I published a post Dates as operations 2017 - a collaborative effort to write a mathematical statement from the digits of the date. Here is the 2018 version. To quickly access in class type gomaths.net/dates into your address bar. Updated for 2019: gomaths.net/dates ..read more

Updated: 23/06/2017 DoE Numeracy Conference: the presentation is item 5a below. The continuum handout is item 6. NOTE, I have added an amendment after the presentation upon reading the NESA Course Descriptions released 21/6/17. The continuum handout is correct as per the Syllabus but incorrect as per the Course Descriptions.     This post is a single point to access some of the resources I'm developing as I investigate the new Mathematics Standard Stage 6 Syllabus (2017) released by the NSW Education Standards Authority. 1.

Like most teachers I write the date at the top of the whiteboard each day. As an extra point of interest, in 2016 I endeavoured to write a number sentence using the digits of the date, in order, underneath the date. For example: 7/4/16        7 - √4 = -1 + 6 27/5/16        2 + 7 - 5 = √16 (Date written as dd/mm/yy) I didn't specifically refer to the sentence, nor make it an activity in class. A senior student in one class made a point of completing the number sentence if I hadn't. Another student in my roll class regularly pointed ..read more

Note for self really, In the new NSW Syllabus for Mathematics K-10 what used to be referred to as scores when analysing data are now called data values. So the definition of mean is written as $$\bar{x}=\frac{\text{sum of data values}}{\text{number of data values}}$$ MA4-20SP ..read more

Inspried by this, Pythagoras in 2 minutes. I used Post-It notes to demonstrate Pythagoras' Theorem to a class. There's something nice and tangible about this simple demonstration. I turned the idea into a animation: http://imgur.com/Zx0JckI ..read more

I've added an additional game under the Fractions category on MathsStarters Bingo: Converting fractions, decimals and percentages This game focusses on the conversion between the common fractions and their equivalents decimals and percentages. The game is limited to fractions with a denominator of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10. If you're not sure how to use this Bingo game, have a look at this earlier post ..read more
