Important Update: Revised Victorian Curriculum Mathematics Version 2.0

We are informing you about the latest update from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). The revised Mathematics Curriculum, Version 2.0, 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: Previous reports, teachers reported against three strands (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability). Under the new curriculum, teachers will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score.
  • Alignment with local curriculum: Our school’s teacher judgements align with our Mathematics Curriculum program.

The Semester 1 report will only show achievement, not progress. While the Semester 2 report will display both achievement and growth.

  • Holistic judgement:Our teachers use learning evidence from all the strands taught throughout the semester to make a holistic judgment that accurately reflects where your child is on the learning continuum for Mathematics Version 2.0.

These changes help teachers plan the learning and teaching and assessment in Mathematics, giving them more flexibility to support students to link ideas within mathematics and across other curriculum areas.
