See exactly what your child will learn at each level, from Level A (Foundation) through Level D (Year 3). Aligned with Australian Curriculum outcomes for homeschool families.
Please note: while we have a year level assigned to each book level in the table below, Milestone Maths is a mastery program. Your child may be working on a level that is “higher” or “lower” than their nominal year level. This is OK! Mastery is much more important than speed in mathematics.
