Mathematics Reporting in Victorian Government schools.
All Victorian Government schools must use the Mathematics Curriculum 2.0 in 2025.
24/05/2024
Dear parents and carers,
We are writing to let you know about the changes to student reporting for Mathematics in Victorian government schools.
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) published its revised Mathematics Curriculum (Mathematics curriculum 2.0) last year.
All Victorian government schools will start using the Mathematics Curriculum 2.0 in 2024 or 2025. Ivanhoe Primary School commenced teaching Mathematics using the revised curriculum this year and will begin reporting students’ achievement against the new curriculum standards this semester.
On previous semester reports, the teacher reported against 3 strands of the achievement standard for Mathematics (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability). Under the revised Mathematics curriculum 2.0, teachers are now required to report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score.
As the achievement standards reported on have changed with the introduction of the new Mathematics curriculum, and with the two curriculums not directly comparable, this semester the Mathematics report you will receive for your child(ren) will only show achievement, and not progress. For all reports after this, progress in Mathematics will be presented against the single achievement score.
For further information, refer to the department’s policy on Reporting Student Achievement and Progress Foundation to 10.
In the coming weeks before students’ reports are published at the end of the semester, further information will be shared regarding Mathematics reporting, and some other changes to elements of the report that you can expect to see.
