All Content Strands
Introduction
What is a
Scope and Sequence?
scope
|
The breadth and depth of content to be
covered in a curriculum at any one time (e.g. week, term, year, over a
student’s school life.) All that you do in a given period.
|
sequence
|
The order in which content is presented to
learners over time. The order in which you do it.
|
Together a scope and sequence of learning
bring order to the delivery of content, supporting the maximising of student
learning and offering sustained opportunities for learning. Without a
considered scope and sequence there is the risk of ad hoc content delivery
and the missing of significant learning.

Why does a school need a scope
and sequence?
An agreed Scope and Sequence for a Learning Area, provides a sound basis
for a school being able to offer a guaranteed
and viable curriculum by addressing gaps in students’ leaning and
eliminating unnecessary repetition. A
shared Scope and Sequence within a school enables teachers to have clarity
about the knowledge, skills and dispositions that students will acquire in
their learning and what they need to learn next. A Scope and Sequence supports
teachers with effective unit and lesson planning and enables teachers to
maintain a developmental focus on student learning as students progress through
the school.
The Mathematics Scope and
Sequence developed by WMR
This document has been developed to support schools with the transition
to AusVELS Mathematics for 2013. While it provides examples of yearly overviews
and learning sequences based on the content descriptors in the Australian
Curriculum, it is not a complete curriculum. Each individual school can use the
documents as a basis for developing a
guaranteed and viable curriculum that caters for the needs of their school
community.
Levels Foundation to 10A each include a set of learning goals/ intentions
for each content sub-strand intended to provide a user friendly guide to the
essential learnings around which teachers and teams could base their unit and
lesson development.
Proficiency strands are listed next to each learning goal / intention as
a guide only and teachers / teams are encouraged to consider all proficiencies
equally whilst planning units and lessons. Where a particular proficiency is
not listed for a content sub-strand teachers and teams should endeavour to
contextualise the learning goals to address these proficiencies. Please note
the following:
Sequence of teaching
The learning
goals/intentions are listed adjacent to the content descriptions to assist
teachers when developing a teaching program. They are not necessarily in the
order to be taught – teachers /teams will make their own decisions regarding
this. The third column has been included to assist teams to develop ideas for
unit planning.
A sample Scope and
Sequence Overview is also provided for each of the year levels from F to 10A.
The number of weeks given to each unit in the overview acts as a guide and the
total number of weeks allows for the many interruptions in a typical school
year.
Links between the
Learning Goals/Intentions and the proficiency strands
(a)
The
Learning Goals/Intentions have been identified to relate most closely to one of
the four proficiency strands (shown in 3 below). This identification is shown
in brackets at the end of each Learning Goal/Intention:
·
Understanding
is identified by (U)
·
Fluency
is identified by (F)
·
Problem
Solving is identified by (PS)
·
Reasoning
is identified by (R)
(b)
In
this document there are less Problem Solving and Reasoning proficiency strands
identified than those for Understanding and Fluency. Should teachers wish to
include more of these proficiencies in their curriculum, they are encouraged to
emphasise them when teaching, and to develop appropriate learning tasks.
Proficiency strands
The
proficiency strands describe the actions in which students can engage when
learning and using the content. While not all proficiency strands apply to
every content description, they indicate the breadth of mathematical actions
that teachers can emphasise. The proficiencies listed next to each learning
goal / intention are examples of how students might achieve the goal or what
they have demonstrated by achieving the goal but are dependent on the context
in which the learning takes place.
Understanding
Students build a robust knowledge of
adaptable and transferable mathematical concepts. They make connections between
related concepts and progressively apply the familiar to develop new ideas.
They develop an understanding of the relationship between the ‘why’ and the
‘how’ of mathematics. Students build understanding when they connect related ideas,
when they represent concepts in different ways, when they identify
commonalities and differences between aspects of content, when they describe
their thinking mathematically and when they interpret mathematical information.
Fluency
Students develop skills in choosing
appropriate procedures, carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately,
efficiently and appropriately, and recalling factual knowledge and concepts
readily. Students are fluent when they calculate answers efficiently, when they
recognise robust ways of answering questions, when they choose appropriate
methods and approximations, when they recall definitions and regularly use
facts, and when they can manipulate expressions and equations to find
solutions.
Problem Solving
Students develop the ability to make
choices, interpret, formulate, model and investigate problem situations, and
communicate solutions effectively. Students formulate and solve problems when
they use mathematics to represent unfamiliar or meaningful situations, when
they design investigations and plan their approaches, when they apply their
existing strategies to seek solutions, and when they verify that their answers
are reasonable.
Reasoning
Students develop an increasingly
sophisticated capacity for logical thought and actions, such as analysing,
proving, evaluating, explaining, inferring, justifying and generalising.
Students are reasoning mathematically when they explain their thinking, when
they deduce and justify strategies used and conclusions reached, when they adapt
the known to the unknown, when they transfer learning from one context to
another, when they prove that something is true or false and when they compare
and contrast related ideas and explain their choices.

teachers to use when planning units of work and lessons include the following:
