South Australia curriculum and worksheets

South Australia teaches the national Australian Curriculum (Version 9), the same framework set by ACARA and used across most of the country. There is no separate SA curriculum to learn: the content descriptions, strands and achievement standards are the national ones.

The South Australian Department for Education (Department for Education) is responsible for schooling in South Australia and supports schools in delivering the national curriculum. Because South Australia adopts the national curriculum, the worksheets and curriculum pages elsewhere on SproutSheets apply here directly.

The mapping is one to one: South Australia 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 Reception in South Australia, 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.

Everything on our Australian Curriculum pages applies to South Australia without changes. Use the Foundation page for Reception, 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.

South Australia calls the first year of school Reception, which is the national Foundation year. On SproutSheets, use the Foundation page for Reception.

Since 2024, South Australian government schools have offered two Reception intakes a year (one at the start of the year and one mid year), so a Reception class can span a wider age range than a single intake. The curriculum content is the national Foundation curriculum in both cases.
