ACARA Digital Technologies Years 5–6
These are free worksheets for Years 5–6 of the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies (version 9.0): what is inside a digital system, how networks share data, how numbers represent data, designing algorithms with branching and repetition, and staying safe online.
This page lists the 118 modules written for Years 5–6, one section per content description: the parts every device shares, RAM and storage, and input, process, store and output; networked devices at home and school, wired and wireless connections and the benefits of sharing files, printers and internet access; binary as two states, encoding and decoding pixel images, run-length encoding and colours as numbers; decisions inside decisions, AND and OR, loops, counters and tracing algorithms on paper; passphrases, locked screens and messages that ask for your password; and how posts, photos, searches and apps build a digital footprint, and how to keep it positive. Each module includes real practice questions and a full answer key.
Each content description has its own journey below, and the larger ones are also split into smaller journeys. They reuse Cloodit's Victorian Curriculum Years 5–6 modules where the topic is the same, so each journey is a complete course. Teachers can assign one content description at a time, with progress tracking, class sprints and badges.
Add this whole curriculum to your class, or just the modules your unit needs — Cloodit tracks who's stuck automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these worksheets free?
Yes — every worksheet and its answer key is free to view, download, and print, with no account required to access any individual module.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to view or print a worksheet. A free teacher account adds extras like assigning modules to a class and tracking progress automatically — it takes under three minutes to set up and doesn't need a credit card.
What year level is this for?
This curriculum is aligned to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) and Victorian Curriculum, spanning roughly Years 3 to 10 — from first sequencing and variables through to object-oriented programming and advanced data structures. Start wherever matches your class's current level; each module builds on the last.
Can I print them?
Yes — every module has a one-click Print Worksheet button that generates a printable page with the practice questions and a full answer key.
Is this aligned to a curriculum?
Yes — the module sequence is mapped to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) and Victorian Curriculum, and a class's progress is reported back against those curriculum bands (e.g. ACARA Years 5–6 sequencing and iteration, Years 7–8 functions and data structures), not just a generic difficulty scale.
Can students use this without a teacher?
Yes — students can start any module and practice directly, no class or account required. Joining a teacher's class with a class code adds progress tracking, class badges, and live Sprints, but isn't needed to work through the worksheets or modules solo.
Do I need to know ACARA Digital Technologies Years 5–6 myself to teach this?
No — every module comes with a full worked answer key, and Cloodit tracks who's stuck automatically, so you don't need to solve each exercise yourself before assigning it or be able to debug a student's work line by line.
