Prepare to teach Networks with our new curriculum resources
Along with this paper, we’ve created modules, assessments and videos for both level 9 and 10 that you can use with your students.
When the Consultation Curriculum was published in the middle of the year, we got our first taste of what the new curriculum will likely look like. Amongst the proposed changes was the inclusion of some new content, like Networks for Year 9 and 10 students.
Until now, there hasn’t been anything similar to Networks taught to students in the 7-10 mathematics curriculum, so this will be the first time many teachers are introducing this topic to students.
To help navigate this new learning area, our team has put together a suite of resources for teachers.
The first, a discussion paper, will help teachers by reviewing what the Consultation Curriculum states the requirements are; demonstrating how those requirements can be met in a practical way; and discussing ways in which this can be taken beyond in cases where there is more time available to cover the topic.
