  1. National Numeracy Learning Progression

  2. The Australian Curriculum • The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics has a central role in the development of numeracy. • In addition, all Australian Curriculum learning areas require students to apply and develop discipline-specific numeracy knowledge and skills.

  3. Relationship: learning areas and resources

  4. Where to find the Numeracy Learning Progression

  6. Using the Numeracy Learning Progression • The progression is a tool to: • locate each student’s current level of numeracy development on the learning progression • identify the next steps for numeracy learning • develop a shared understanding of numeracy development.

  7. Structure: Numeracy Learning Progression Elements Levels Sub-elements

  8. Numeracy elements and sub-elements

  9. Example Element: Number sense and algebra Level: 1 Sub-element: Multiplicative strategies Subheading • Flexible strategies for multiplication • draws on the structure of multiplication to use known multiples in calculating related multiples (uses multiples of 4 to calculate multiples of 8) • uses known single-digit multiplication facts (7 boxes of 6 donuts is 42 donuts altogether because 7 x 6 = 42) • applies known facts and strategies for multiplication to mentally calculate (3 sixes is ‘double 6’ plus 1 more row of 6, 5 x 19 is half of 10 x 19 or 5 x 19 is 5 x 20 take away 5) • uses commutative properties of numbers (5 x 6 is the same as 6 x 5) Indicators

  10. The progression and additional information

  11. Additional information Element: Measurement and geometry Sub-element: Understanding units of measurement Level: 6 Subheading • Identifying the structure of units • draws and describes the column and row structure to represent area as an array, moving beyond counting of squares by ones • calculates the total area using rows and/or columns as composite units • uses familiar household items as benchmarks when estimating mass and capacity (compares capacities based on knowing the size of a bottle of water) • estimates lengths that lie between full units by visualising subdivisions of the unit Indicators Band of years

  12. Using the Numeracy Learning Progression • When using the progression to identify student development note that: • teachers make a holistic judgment when placing students on a level • teachers identify next steps in numeracy progression • indicators at each level are neither hierarchical nor prescriptive • the progression is not designed to be used as a checklist.

  13. Where to now? • QCAA advises that the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions are a resource schools may choose to use. • Schools are best placed to decide how to use the learning progressions, with advice from their sector. • The National Numeracy Learning Progression is on the Australian Curriculum website under the ‘Resources/publications’ tab: • https://australiancurriculum.edu.au/resources/national-literacy-and-numeracy-learning-progressions
