Mathematics Curriculum in Victoria: A Comprehensive Overview
The Victorian Curriculum F-10 offers a stable foundation for teaching mathematics, focusing on developing mathematical skills for real-world applications, problem-solving abilities, specialist knowledge, and an appreciation for the discipline. The curriculum is structured around key strands such as Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability, and more, with achievement standards ranging from Foundation to Level 10. Key changes include added content on algorithms and coding in the Patterns and Algebra sub-strand.

Victorian Curriculum F10 Released in September 2015 as a central component of the Education State Provides a stable foundation for the development and implementation of whole-school teaching and learning programs The Victorian Curriculum F 10 incorporates the Australian Curriculum and reflects Victorian priorities and standards http://victoriancurriculum.vcaa.vic.edu.au/
Aims The Mathematics curriculum aims to ensure that students: develop useful mathematical and numeracy skills for everyday life, work and as active and critical citizens in a technological world see connections and apply mathematical concepts, skills and processes to pose and solve problems in mathematics and in other disciplines and contexts acquire specialist knowledge and skills in mathematics that provide for further study in the discipline appreciate mathematics as a discipline its history, ideas, problems and applications, aesthetics and philosophy.
Structure Strands and Sub-strands Number and Algebra Measurement and Geometry Using units of measurement Shape Statistics and Probability Number and place value Chance Fractions and decimals Data representation and interpretation Real numbers Money and financial mathematics Patterns and algebra Geometric reasoning Location and transformation Pythagoras and trigonometry Linear and non-linear relationships
Structure Achievement standards The first achievement standard at Foundation and then at Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. The curriculum also provides an optional Level 10A, which is intended for students working at Level 10 requiring further mathematical studies. A curriculum for students with disabilities is provided in this learning area.
Key messages Mathematics in the Victorian Curriculum F-10 is substantially similar to AusVELS Mathematics with the majority of the curriculum unchanged. The level descriptions in the Victorian Curriculum Mathematics have all been revised to more fully articulate the proficiencies of understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem solving in relation to the content descriptions and achievement standards The Mathematics curriculum has been strengthened with the addition of content relating to algorithms and coding in the Patterns and algebra sub-strand of the Number and Algebra strand at each level. A small number of new content descriptions and elaborations have been developed, and a small number of existing content descriptions and elaborations revised, at various levels to enhance the coherence, consistency and completeness of the curriculum. Reporting progress in Mathematics These changes do not cause a break in reporting data and student progress can be shown from AusVELS Mathematics to the Victorian Curriculum F 10 Mathematics.
