NSW Maths experts say curriculum is faddish and shallow

Dozens of maths professors and teachers have warned a draft plan to fix the “unambitious” national maths curriculum will make it worse, devaluing basics such as times tables and introducing vague, untested fads.
In an open letter to the national curriculum authority, the mathematicians point out ambiguity, shallowness - there is no mention of key algebraic terms - and errors in the draft, such as asking students to investigate Fibonacci patterns in shells, which “simply do not exist”.

Article content
The word “unteachable” has been used to describe the draft K-6 Alberta curriculum. Thousands of parents, teachers, and scholars are raising concerns about plagiarism, factual errors, developmental inappropriateness, and historical and ideological bias.
We speak against this curriculum as PhD students from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Education, who prepare preservice teachers while conducting educational research. Collectively, we have over four decades of teaching experience in K-12 and higher education.

New national curriculum teaches cultural diversity, dumps 'Christian heritage'

A revised Australian curriculum would give greater weight to the nation’s diversity and to First Nations culture, but less emphasis on “Christian heritage” in the study of civics and citizenship.
Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority chief executive David de Carvalho says English, maths and science will have primacy of place in the revamped curriculum.

A review has found the existing curriculum did not include enough “truth telling” about the experience of First Nations Australians since European settlement, and put too much emphasis on the period before contact with Europeans.
One of the authors of a 2014 review of the curriculum criticised the focus on diversity, arguing it denied the dominant Western liberal character of Australian life.
