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.

Achievement Standard:
Students
compare data sets by referring to the shapes of the various data displays. They
describe bivariate data where the independent variable is time. Students
describe statistical relationships between two continuous variables. They
evaluate statistical reports. They calculate quartiles and interquartile
ranges.

How is the
essential learning developed into units of work? How do students make
connections between the learning goals and those included in other content
strands or sub-strands? How do we ensure students become proficient in
fluency, understanding, reasoning and problem solving?

·
Investigate reports of studies in digital media and
elsewhere for information on the planning and implementation of such studies,
and the reporting of variability (ACMSP277)
|
Students will:
·
Evaluate media reports that refer to data from a
range of contexts (R)
·
Evaluate the visual representation of data in media
reports (R)
·
Evaluate the size and type of samples used for data
collection in a variety of contexts (R)
·
Discuss appropriate methods of sampling for data
collection (U)
·
Generate data by posing appropriate questions and
making decisions about sampling a population (U)(R)

·
Calculate and interpret the mean and standard
deviation of data and use these to compare data sets (ACMSP278)
·
Use information technologies to investigate
bivariate numerical data sets. Where appropriate use a straight line to
describe the relationship allowing for variation (ACMSP279)
|
Students will:
·
Calculate the mean for a data set (F)
·
Calculate the standard deviation for a data set (F)
·
Compare data sets using their standard deviations
and mean values (R) (U)
·
Discuss data sets by interpreting their mean and
standard deviations (R) (U)
·
Represent bivariate numerical data sets graphically
using digital technologies (F)
·
Use straight lines (line of best fit) to represent
scatter plots and to describe the relationships between variables (F) (U)
