Pathways of Learning (Source: Year 7-10 Ma<strong>the</strong>matics Syllabus: BOS NSW)<br />

The following diagram represents available pathways of learning in ma<strong>the</strong>matics from Early Stage 1<br />

to Stage 6. In this diagram, <strong>the</strong> Stages refer to <strong>the</strong> level of knowledge of ma<strong>the</strong>matics learning ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than to <strong>the</strong> stages of schooling. In this way it is acknowledged that a student who is in Year 7, for<br />

example, may still be working towards Stage 3 outcomes, just as a student in Year 8, for example,<br />

may be working towards Stage 5 outcomes.<br />

The Ma<strong>the</strong>matics Life Skills outcomes and content are designed to provide a relevant and meaningful<br />

program of study for a small percentage of students with special education needs, for whom <strong>the</strong><br />

Ma<strong>the</strong>matics Years 7–10 Syllabus outcomes and content are not appropriate.<br />

In order to cater for <strong>the</strong> full range of learners, three specific endpoints and pathways (5.1, 5.2 and 5.3)<br />

have been identified for Stage 5. The diagram shows <strong>the</strong> connection between <strong>the</strong>se three levels.<br />

Stage 5.3 includes <strong>the</strong> knowledge and skills from Stage 5.2, and Stage 5.2 includes <strong>the</strong> knowledge<br />

and skills from Stage 5.1.<br />
