What Year 6 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 6 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They solve problems using the properties of prime, composite and square numbers.
- Students locate an ordered pair in any one of the 4 quadrants on the Cartesian plane.
- They use all 4 operations with decimals and connect decimal representations of measurements to the metric system.
- Students conduct simulations using digital tools, to generate and record the outcomes from many trials of a chance experiment.
- They create tessellating patterns using combinations of transformations.
- Students critique arguments presented in the media based on statistics.

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 5
- AC9M5N01interpret, compare and order numbers with more than 2 decimal places, including numbers greater than one, using place value understanding; represent these on a number line
- AC9M5N010create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions and digital tools to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility; identify, interpret and describe emerging patterns
- AC9M5N02express natural numbers as products of their factors, recognise multiples and determine if one number is divisible by another
Builds towards · Year 7
- AC9M7N01describe the relationship between perfect square numbers and square roots, and use squares of numbers and square roots of perfect square numbers to solve problems
- AC9M7N02represent natural numbers as products of powers of prime numbers using exponent notation
- AC9M7N03represent natural numbers in expanded notation using place value and powers of 10
Other Year 6 Number codes
- AC9M6N01recognise situations, including financial contexts, that use integers; locate and represent integers on a number line and as coordinates on the Cartesian plane
- AC9M6N02identify and describe the properties of prime, composite and square numbers and use these properties to solve problems and simplify calculations
- AC9M6N04apply knowledge of place value to add and subtract decimals, using digital tools where appropriate; use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers
- AC9M6N05solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of equivalent fractions
- AC9M6N06multiply and divide decimals by multiples of powers of 10 without a calculator, applying knowledge of place value and proficiency with multiplication facts; using estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers
- AC9M6N07solve problems that require finding a familiar fraction, decimal or percentage of a quantity, including percentage discounts, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate
- AC9M6N08approximate numerical solutions to problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts, using appropriate estimation strategies
- AC9M6N09use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies, and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying the choices made
