These include representing monetary values, rounding up to the nearest five cents, or solving simple and compound interest problems.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancurriculum.edu.au\/media\/7046\/mathematics_comparative_information_7-10.pdf\">current year 10 curriculum<\/a>, students are required to<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Connect the compound interest formula to repeated applications of simple interest using appropriate digital technologies.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a clear description of the need for teachers to help develop essential financial maths knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority in April released a draft of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancurriculum.edu.au\/consultation\/\">proposed revised curriculum<\/a>\u00a0for consultation. The above\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancurriculum.edu.au\/media\/7046\/mathematics_comparative_information_7-10.pdf\">year 10 content has changed<\/a>\u00a0to students having to:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>use formulas involving exponents and real numbers to solve practical problems (including financial contexts) involving growth and decay and solve using digital tools as appropriate.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This wording no longer ensures students are taught about social aspects of, as well as how to calculate, compound interest. Previously it was the teacher\u2019s discretion as to how they taught exponential growth and decay. Currently teachers are likely using transmission of COVID as the context to teach these concepts.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of what students should achieve by the end of each year, the proposed curriculum has also removed explicit mentions to financial literacy. For instance, in the current curriculum, by the end of year 7 students will<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[\u2026] solve problems involving percentages and [\u2026] operations with fractions and decimals. They compare the cost of items to make financial decisions. Students represent numbers using variables.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the proposed curriculum, students by the end of year 7<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[\u2026] solve problems involving rational numbers, percentages and ratios and explain their choice of representation of rational numbers and results when they model situations, including those in financial contexts.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, this doesn\u2019t mean they will learn about financial matters \u2014 they might.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why does this matter?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancurriculum.edu.au\/consultation\">aim of the curriculum review <\/a>\u00a0is to declutter content. This may be why applications of maths have been relegated to optional status.<\/p>\n<p>By making financial concepts mere examples, the number of content descriptions decreases. This might provide the appearance the quantity of maths has decreased. But teachers still need to provide students with a context in which to apply their maths skills.<\/p>\n<p>Systematically teaching financial concepts in a maths course can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/connect.springerpub.com\/content\/sgrjfcp\/30\/2\/313\">improve the financial outcomes<\/a>\u00a0of more disadvantaged students.
