What was actually obtained
On 2 October 2026 Brisbane time, twelve ordinary direct requests were made once each, without authentication, cookies, alternate hosts or an access bypass. Five returned 200; seven QCAA requests returned 403 HTML. Every response body was saved unchanged in the private source-body collection. SOURCE-ACCESS.json (private verification witness) records request UTC, final URL, status, content type, byte count, SHA256 and actual signature. A filename ending in .pdf or .docx is not evidence of that format.
The five 200 bodies are the national workbook; ACARA terms; ACARA version history; Queensland's 44-page curriculum/assessment/reporting framework PDF; and Department of Education copyright HTML. The seven 403 bodies are QCAA Mathematics, planning and assessment gateways; Year 8 alignment PDF; Years 7–8 assessment conditions PDF; Year 8 standard-elaborations DOCX; and QCAA copyright. These new receipts remain distinct from the completed English proposal/review/authoring receipts. No old 403 file was replaced.
Separate official indexed reading was available through the web tool. sources/WEB-RECEIPTS.json (private verification witness) and sources/WEB-READING-DETAILS.json (private verification witness) retain those tool results. An indexed reading is text evidence with the scope below, not a successful native download or an inspected print layout. The standard-elaborations indexed DOCX returned an unsupported-content-type error; no matrix or glossary was adopted.
National authority
Source: Australian Curriculum v 9 official workbook, actual XLSX 2049917 bytes, SHA256 db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3.
The actual raw XML/string/cell extraction and held canonical comparison cover the complete Mathematics Year 8 introduction, all 27 descriptions and the whole achievement standard. national-authority.json (private verification witness) keeps the raw witness, 29 literal strings, identities, cell coordinates and population result. canonical-selected.json (private verification witness) is a private exact selection. The canonical file was read, not rewritten. NATIONAL-WORDING.md contains full readable wording, not clipped alignment snippets.
The held snapshot is acara-v9.0-snapshot-2026-09-29; its full canonical file SHA256 is 15fbbef5283a4b48b8a8e00ae3c7c635377cea2175afc1f2f12d12f9d5453e60. The reader source is the official workbook plus this dated identity and hash. The private raw witness holds the local machine path.
The version history identifies v 9 Mathematics in the 10 May 2022 release. Later subject-specific dates are not treated as a new Mathematics version. This is a dated 2 October 2026 access plus a 29 September 2026 held snapshot, not a promise that external material will remain unchanged.
Queensland implementation context
| Official source and date | Actual reading scope | Use and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics gateway, updated 10 October 2023 | Relevant indexed lines 223–271 | Subject/standard/resource gateway; end-of-year assessment context, not approval of this pack |
| Planning resources, updated 22 August 2025 | Relevant indexed lines 223–294 | Planning/support context; portal, templates and samples were not entered, downloaded or adopted |
| Assessment resources, updated 2 June 2025 | Relevant indexed lines 223–316 | Feedback and varied evidence context; no whole-folio or five-point-grade judgement from these checks |
| Year 8 alignment, March 2023, document 230385 | Whole indexed text, 234 lines, 3 indexed pages | Full standard/code links read; native 403, no PDF-layout inspection |
| Years 7–8 conditions, October 2023, document 230152-02 | Whole indexed text, 87 lines, 2 indexed pages | Contextual project/examination guidance; native 403, not a mandatory 30-minute formative-check prescription |
| Queensland curriculum, assessment and reporting framework, 2026 | Actual 44-page PDF held; title/navigation and relevant Mathematics implementation/timetable pages 8/12, with planner context on 9 | State-school implementation context only; whole framework not read or applied as a full compliance checklist |
The conditions distinguish projects and examinations. Their example ranges include a project of up to two weeks including three hours class time and an examination of up to 70 minutes plus five minutes perusal. Our two 30-minute staged checks are local formative proposals, not claims that every suggested technique/condition has been satisfied. Longer responses are not required to show stronger reasoning.
The framework's relevant pages say state schools implement v 9 Mathematics and English by the end of 2026 and list 140 hours/year for Year 8 Mathematics, offered each semester. Its v 9 implementation heading coexists with a v 8.4 footer in the timetable table. We retain that source detail rather than silently relabelling it. Ten 45-minute lessons do not certify a school's annual allocation. No all-state, non-state or home-education compliance claim follows.

Source and outcome limits
The official sources establish wording and local context. The original arithmetic examples establish only their stated mathematical models. Fictional prices are not current market data. No learner trial, family interview, independent human review, actual spoken performance, browser/runtime interaction, successful physical print or publication has been established for this resource. A bounded exact arithmetic audit is reported separately and is not evidence of learner outcomes or product effectiveness.
