Maths Curriculum 2

Dear Parents and Carers

Re: Student reporting update – Mathematics Version 2.0

I am writing to let you know about the changes to student reporting for Mathematics in Victorian Catholic schools.

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

All Victorian schools will start using Mathematics Version 2.0 in 2024 or 2025. At St Thomas More we are using the revised Mathematics curriculum for student reporting from Semester 1, 2025.

On your child’s previous report, the teacher reported against the three strands of the achievement standard for Mathematics (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability). Under the Mathematics Version 2.0 curriculum, your child’s teacher will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score.

As the achievement standards reported on have changed, the first time you receive a report under the Mathematics Version 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.

If you have any queries about your child’s report, please contact your child's teacher or myself via email (bsaville@smbelgrave.catholic.edu.au). 

Yours sincerely
