Numeracy - Numeracy across the curriculum - The Australian Curriculum v7.4 In the Australian Curriculum, much of the explicit teaching of numeracy skills occurs in Mathematics.

Students need to recognise that mathematics is constantly used outside the mathematics classroom and that numerate people apply general mathematical skills in a wide range of familiar and unfamiliar situations. Using mathematical skills across the curriculum both enriches the study of other learning areas and contributes to the development of a broader and deeper understanding of numeracy. identify the specific numeracy demands of their learning areaprovide learning experiences and opportunities that support the application of students’ general mathematical knowledge and skillsuse the language of numeracy in their teaching as appropriate.

What's changed - - The Australian Curriculum v8.0 Revisions have been made to the previously available Australian Curriculum to make the curriculum easier to manage, particularly for primary schools, to simplify the curriculum’s presentation and to strengthen the focus on literacy. To achieve this: The volume of content in learning areas has been reduced by deleting, clarifying and simplifying content descriptions, where appropriate, and moving references to examples to the content elaborations. This has improved clarity of content descriptions and has resulted in an overall reduction in the number of content descriptions in the curriculum.A single Foundation – Years 6/7 Humanities and Social Sciences learning area replaces the History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship, and Economics and Business subjects at these year levels. The Tracked changes for Foundation – Year 10 Australian Curriculum document (PDF 2.9 mb) is available on the Australian Curriculum website.
