Planning, programming and assessing mathematics K–6
Resources to help you plan, program and assess mathematics from Kindergarten to Year 6
The mathematics K–6 units are being updated to align more closely with the department’s evolving priorities and the Plan for NSW Public Education. This iterative and ongoing process ensures our teaching resources remain current, relevant and responsive to teachers’ needs. The updates will be released in phases, with the first revised units available from late Term 3 2025. Information about each release will be shared via Staff Noticeboard and the Primary Curriculum Statewide Staffroom. Teachers are encouraged to continue using the existing units in the meantime.
