Curriculum Update: Revised Victorian Curriculum Mathematics Version 2.0

We are pleased to inform you that the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). have revised the Mathematics Curriculum, as Version 2.0. This mathematics curriculum is now fully implemented in our school. Here are the key points you need to know:

New achievement standards: The revised Mathematics Curriculum includes changes to the achievement standards used by teachers to assess and report student learning from Foundation to Year 10.

Aggregated reporting: Under the new curriculum, teachers will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score in Semester 1 and Semester 2.

Alignment with local curriculum: Our school’s teacher judgements align with our Mathematics Curriculum program.

Strand-level information: Our school has recorded and used information from each of the six strands in Mathematics Version 2.0 to provide feedback on student progress. 

Holistic judgement: At a school our teachers use learning evidence from the strands taught each semester to make a holistic judgement that accurately reflects where your child is on the learning continuum for Mathematics Version 2.0.

We believe these updates will provide a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of your child's progress in Mathematics. Please note that due to the change in curriculum, the Semester 1 report will only show achievement, while the Semester 2 report will display both achievement and growth.
