Reporting in Mathematics

There have been changes to student reporting for mathematics in Victorian government schools. 

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) recently published its revised mathematics curriculum (Mathematics curriculum 2.0). 

All Victorian government schools will start using the Mathematics curriculum 2.0 in 2025. 

On your child's previous report, teachers reported against the three strands of the achievement standard for mathematics - Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Under the Mathematics curriculum 2.0, teachers will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score - see an example report below.

As the achievement standards reported on have changed, the first time you receive a report under the Mathematics 2.0 curriculum, it will only show achievement and not progress. For all reports after this, progress will be shown against the single achievement standard. 

The VCAA made these changes to help teachers plan their teaching and learning programs in mathematics, giving them more flexibility to support students to link ideas within mathematics and also with other curriculum areas. 

For further information, refer to the department's policy below on reporting student achievement and progress:
