Mathematics Stage 3 sample scope and sequence

All NSW public schools need to plan curriculum and develop teaching programs consistent with the Edu
the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabuses and credentialing requirements.

Effective teaching of mathematics requires a deep knowledge of key concepts, ideas and skills in the sy
teach and assess these in the local context to meet student needs.

A scope and sequence is a summary of what is to be taught, the sequence in which it will be taught and
that may be addressed in the intended learning. Flexible and fluid documents, they provide a brief overv
and ideas addressed in a learning and teaching program for an individual stage or year. There will be v
sequences arising from the differences in school contexts, student cohorts and syllabus requirements.

Scope and sequences form part of the ongoing documentation or evidence schools maintain to comply
policy, policy standards and registration requirements. A scope and sequence identifies the learning se
overview of the school’s mathematics program. This sample scope and sequence provides a systemati
building knowledge, skills and understandings in mathematics for students in Stage 3.

The number sense instructional sequence can be used in conjunction with this sample scope and sequ
