Year 6: Victorian Curriculum 2.0

Listed Mathematics content descriptions at Level 6, in the words of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), with the practice on this site that covers it. Checked against the source on 3 September 2026.

  • 24content descriptions
  • 89skills mapped
  • 100%have practice

Coverage is the percentage of listed content descriptions with at least one linked practice skill; it does not measure how fully every part of an entry is practised. A skill can practise more than one content description, so some appear more than once below.

Number

  1. VC2M6N01recognise situations, including financial contexts, that use integers; locate and represent integers on a number line and as coordinates on the Cartesian plane

  2. VC2M6N02identify and describe the properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers and use these properties to solve problems and simplify calculations

  3. VC2M6N03apply knowledge of equivalence to compare, order and represent common fractions, including halves, thirds and quarters, on the same number line and justify their order

  4. VC2M6N04apply knowledge of place value to add and subtract decimals, using digital tools where appropriate; use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers

  5. VC2M6N05solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of equivalent fractions

  6. VC2M6N06multiply 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

  7. VC2M6N07solve problems that require finding a familiar fraction, decimal or percentage of a quantity, including percentage discounts, choosing efficient calculation strategies with and without digital tools

  8. VC2M6N08approximate numerical solutions to problems involving rational numbers and percentages, using appropriate estimation strategies

  9. VC2M6N09use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and using efficient mental and written calculation strategies, and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying the choices made

Algebra

  1. VC2M6A01recognise and use rules that generate visually growing patterns and number patterns involving rational numbers

  2. VC2M6A02find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations

  3. VC2M6A03design and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns

Measurement

  1. VC2M6M01convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem

  2. VC2M6M02establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems

  3. VC2M6M03measure, calculate and compare elapsed time; interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the duration of events and journeys

  4. VC2M6M04identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning

Space

  1. VC2M6SP01compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to right prisms

  2. VC2M6SP02locate points in the 4 quadrants of the Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane

  3. VC2M6SP03recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometry software where appropriate

Statistics

  1. VC2M6ST01interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape

  2. VC2M6ST02identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media; discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions

  3. VC2M6ST03plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions to collect categorical or numerical data by observation or survey, or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation

Probability

  1. VC2M6P01describe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages; recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0–1 or 0%–100%; use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals

  2. VC2M6P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
