Why were the progressions developed?
Literacy and numeracy are fundamental to a student’s ability to learn at school and to engage productively in society. Improving literacy/numeracy development is a priority for many schools. The development of the Literacy and Numeracy Progressions has …

Multiplicative strategies description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to use multiplicative strategies in computation. The coordination of units multiplicatively involves using the values of one unit applied to each of the units of the other, the multiplier. …

Operating with percentages description
This sub-element focuses on understanding the use of percentages in representing quantities. It begins with understanding the concept of a percentage, progresses through calculations of a percentage, finding a percentage change first through two steps …

Number patterns and algebraic thinking description
Figuring out how a pattern works brings predictability and allows the making of generalisations. This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to identify a pattern as something that is a discernible regularity in a group of numbers …

Additive strategies description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to choose and use additive computational strategies for different purposes. The transition from counting by one to more flexible methods of dealing with quantity, where numbers are treated …

Comparing units (ratios, rates and proportion) description
This sub-element addresses comparing units in ratios, rates and proportions. A ratio describes a situation in comparative terms, and a proportion is taken to mean when this comparison is used to describe a related situation in the same comparative terms. …

Interpreting fractions description
This sub-element emphasises the development of the fraction concept and the size of fractions rather than the development of procedures or algorithmic skills. Understanding the size of a fraction is an indicator of the depth of a student’s understanding …
