Listed Mathematics content descriptions at Year 7, in the words of the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), with the practice on this site that covers it. Checked against the source on 4 September 2026.
Taught as published in South Australia, and as the Australian Curriculum in Queensland (ACiQ). The Northern Territory, the ACT and Tasmania also teach it directly. Content descriptions are verbatim from ACARA's curriculum workbook.
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.

AC9M7SP03describe transformations of a set of points using coordinates in the Cartesian plane, translations and reflections on an axis, and rotations about a given point
AC9M7SP04design and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that will sort and classify sets of shapes according to their attributes, and describe how the algorithms work
AC9M7ST01acquire data sets for discrete and continuous numerical variables and calculate the range, median, mean and mode; make and justify decisions about which measures of central tendency provide useful insights into the nature of the distribution of data
AC9M7ST02create different types of numerical data displays including stem-and-leaf plots using software where appropriate; describe and compare the distribution of data, commenting on the shape, centre and spread including outliers and determining the range, median, mean and mode
