Content defines what students are expected to know and do as they work towards syllabus outcomes. It provides the foundations for students to successfully progress to the next stage of schooling or post-school opportunities.
Teachers will make decisions about content regarding the sequence, emphasis and any adjustments required based on the needs, interests, abilities and prior learning of students.
Content in Stage 6 syllabuses defines learning expectations that may be assessed in Higher School Certificate examinations.
Students who undertake the Mathematics Standard course have a diverse range of numeracy needs. The outcomes and content in the Mathematics Standard course provide opportunities for students to demonstrate knowledge, skills and understanding commensurate with Level 3 on the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) in Numeracy. The ACSF provides a way of describing the generic skills identified as being critical to operating effectively in personal and community contexts including the workplace.
