What curriculum does Tasmania use?
Tasmania teaches the national Australian Curriculum (Version 9), the same framework set by ACARA and used across most of the country. There is no separate TAS curriculum to learn: the content descriptions, strands and achievement standards are the national ones.
The Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) is responsible for schooling in Tasmania and supports schools in delivering the national curriculum. Because Tasmania 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: Tasmania 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 Tasmania, 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 Tasmania 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 Tasmania
After Year 10, Tasmania students work towards the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE), issued by the Office of Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification (TASC). Senior secondary in Tasmania is certified by TASC, a different body from the school department that runs the Foundation to Year 10 years. SproutSheets worksheets target Foundation to Year 10, so senior secondary is reference only. How Years 11 and 12 work across Australia.
Using SproutSheets in Tasmania
Everything on our Australian Curriculum pages applies to Tasmania 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.
Tasmania calls the first year of full time school Prep, which is the national Foundation year. On SproutSheets, use the Foundation page for Prep.
Prep in Tasmania follows an earlier Kindergarten year, so the word Kindergarten in Tasmania means the year before Prep rather than the first year of school.
