Australian Curriculum
== The Australian Curriculum heralds a new era in Australian Education. For the first time all states and territories will be 'on the same page' when it comes to the delivery of curriculum. The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics is a terrific document and while critics will continue to find faults it has many strong points in it's easy to use format. We have been told // "there is less so we can go deeper" //. In this session you will take a comprehensive tour around the Maths Curriculum P-8 to see how it will provide a wealth of teaching opportunities. Content Descriptions, Proficiency Strands, Elaborations and the all important link to the digital goldfield, Scootle will be discussed and investigated. ==
