What Year 4 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 4 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They recognise equivalent fractions and make connections between fraction and decimal notations.
- Students order events or the outcomes of chance experiments in terms of likelihood and identify whether events are independent or dependent.
- They use mathematical modelling to solve financial and other practical problems, formulating the problem using number sentences, solving the problem choosing efficient strategies and interpreting results in terms of the situation.
- They find unknown values in numerical equations involving addition and subtraction.
- Students use the properties of odd and even numbers.
- They choose rounding and estimation strategies to determine whether results of calculations are reasonable.

A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 3
Builds towards · Year 5
- AC9M5SP01connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning
- AC9M5SP02construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement
- AC9M5SP03describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
