Australian Curriculum Maths Activities for Every Year Level

Mathematics has been designated as a learning area by ACARA because, according to the government, 'The study of mathematics is central to the learning, development and prospects of all young Australians.'

After all, without understanding numbers and developing mathematical proficiency, our students would not be able to make financial payments, interpret scientific data, make informed decisions in business and so much more.

With that focus on building a future for young Australians in mind, Teach Starter's mathematics resources are created and carefully reviewed by expert maths teachers on our team to help your students become motivated and confident learners.

With worksheets and activities for students from early years classrooms to upper years in this collection, here's just a taste of what is covered in the curriculum-aligned resources you'll find as you explore!

Foundation/Prep

For the youngest early years students, our engaging maths resources cover the following (and more!):

• Counting and ordering numbers up to 20
• Developing an understanding of place value
• Addition and subtraction within 10
• 2D and 3D shapes
• Time concepts (days of the week and telling time to the hour)

Year 1

Building on the foundation set in the earliest years of school, year 1 maths worksheets and games on Teach Starter cover:

• Counting and ordering numbers up to 100
• Place value up to 100
• Addition and subtraction within 20
• Money concepts such as recognising and counting coins
• Measurement of length, mass and capacity using non-standard units
• Simple fractions

Year 2

The activities created for year 2 maths teachers cover the following concepts from the Australian maths curriculum:

• Counting and ordering numbers up to 1000
• Place value up to 1000
• Addition and subtraction within 100
• Multiplication and division as grouping and sharing
• 2D shapes and their properties
• Time concepts such as reading and interpreting analogue clocks
• Data representation using simple graphs

Year 3

As we head into the middle years and students in Year 3 are expected to sit the NAPLAN tests to assess numeracy skills, and many of the concepts they will be tested on are covered in our resources:

• Place value up to 10 000
• Addition and subtraction with regrouping
• Multiplication and division facts
• Fractions and equivalent fractions
• Measurement of length, mass and capacity using standard units

• Multiplication and division strategies
• Fractions, including comparing and ordering fractions
• Measurement of time, including 24-hour time
• Geometry concepts, including angles and symmetry
• Data representation using tables and line graphs

Year 5

Year 5 maths students will again be expected to sit NAPLAN to have their numeracy skills assessed. Here's what they'll be learning that year:

• Place value up to billions
• Addition and subtraction of decimals
• Multiplication and division of decimals
• Fractions, including addition and subtraction of fractions
• Measurement conversions (e.g., between units of length, mass and time)
• Shape classification and properties
• Statistics and probability concepts

Year 6

In their final year of primary school, year 6 maths students will get ready for secondary school with these concepts:

• Place value up to trillions
