What curriculum does Queensland use?
Queensland teaches the national Australian Curriculum (Version 9), the same framework set by ACARA and used across most of the country. There is no separate QLD curriculum to learn: the content descriptions, strands and achievement standards are the national ones.
The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) is responsible for schooling in Queensland and supports schools in delivering the national curriculum. Because Queensland adopts the national curriculum, the worksheets and curriculum pages elsewhere on SproutSheets apply here directly.
How it maps to the Australian Curriculum
The mapping is one to one: Queensland uses the national Mathematics content descriptions and their AC9M codes, which is exactly what our worksheets are labelled with. The only naming point to know is the first year of school, called Prep in Queensland, which is the national Foundation year. After that it is Year 1 through Year 10, the same as nationally.
Because the codes and year names match, there is nothing to translate for the primary maths content: a national Year 3 content description is a Year 3 content description here too.
Year-level equivalents
How Queensland names its year levels, and the matching SproutSheets pages (which use the national year names). Primary is strongest for ready-made worksheets.
Years 11 and 12 in Queensland
After Year 10, Queensland students work towards the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), issued by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA). SproutSheets worksheets target Foundation to Year 10, so senior secondary is reference only. How Years 11 and 12 work across Australia.
Using SproutSheets in Queensland
Everything on our Australian Curriculum pages applies to Queensland without changes. Use the Foundation page for Prep, and the Year 1 to Year 10 pages as named.
Our worksheets are mapped to the national ACARA v9 Mathematics codes, and every maths answer key is computed in code, so the answers are never wrong. Browse by year level or by content code and print what you need.
Queensland calls the first year of school Prep, which is the national Foundation year. On SproutSheets, use the Foundation page for Prep.
The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) supports schools with alignment and planning resources for the national curriculum rather than publishing a separate framework.
