K-6 SCOPE AND SEQUENCES
AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM v9 + NSW 2022-2023 SYLLABUS +
GENERAL CAPABILITIES v9 / NUMERACY PROGRESSION v3

All research- and curriculum-based Scope and Sequences have both an Empirical and a Logical Basis, and explicitly uncover links between concepts to ensure that related concepts are taught and investigate simultaneously.
The Empirical Basis means that later Levels are both harder than and also include earlier Levels.
The Logical Basis means that specific earlier Levels are prerequisites for specific later Levels.

NB: Scope and Sequences – cross-grade advice – see bottom of page.

The Grade videos linked here and on the Let’s Start page take you through every grades’ learning scope and sequence, and include pedagogy and focus on important concepts and related concepts.

Scope and Sequences – cross-grade advice

Because the syllabus, curriculum, and so our Scope and Sequences have both an empirical and logical basis (empirical base = every later element is both harder than and includes earlier elements; logical base = specific earlier elements are pre-requisites for specific later elements), even with a straight grade, concepts need to be differentiated – we recommend the first element explicitly taught (while collaboratively constructing an Anchor Chart) is the lowest element in the concept, for example, when teaching a multiplicative concept, start with the Year 3 element, and when teaching an additive concept, start with the Year 1 element.
This serves 2 purposes (i) it allows students to identify where the concept begins (ii) it allows our students to select this element to investigate before moving on to higher (ultimately grade) elements. Remember, grade level outcomes are end-of-year expectations.
So regardless of whether we have a straight grade or cross-grade, the explicit teaching will be the same.
For a cross-grace class, we recommend opening the Scope and Sequence for the higher grade, because every element in it will be differentiated back to the start of the concept, and then progressing up – so the prior grade will be included in the teaching.
