In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ie-ncca-junior-cycle Part of: [Junior Cycle: Mathematics](https://ai.page/roadmap/ie-ncca.md) Goal: Junior Cycle specification (NCCA): Mathematics, Junior Cycle ## 1. Unifying - [Algebraic Transformations](https://ai.page/c/algebraic-transformations/index.md): Model situations or procedures by translating them into algebraic expressions or formulae and by using graphs; move between word problems, algebraic representations, tables, and graphical representations - [Constructing mathematical arguments](https://ai.page/c/constructing-mathematical-arguments/index.md): Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps and formal reasoning; critique others' reasoning about fractions, algebra, ratio, or geometry and clearly explain errors or alternative approaches ## 2. Number - [Algebraic Notation](https://ai.page/c/algebraic-notation/index.md): Use and interpret algebraic notation including: ab for a × b, 3y for y + y + y, a² for a × a, a/b for a ÷ b, coefficients as fractions, and brackets for grouping; read and write algebraic expressions fluently - [Percentages as Fractions](https://ai.page/c/percentages-as-fractions/index.md): Define percentage as 'number of parts per hundred'; interpret percentages and percentage changes as a fraction or a decimal; express one quantity as a percentage of another; compare quantities using percentages; work with percentages greater than 100% - [Proportion](https://ai.page/c/proportion/index.md): Recognise and solve problems involving direct proportion (as one quantity increases, the other increases at a constant rate) and inverse proportion (as one increases, the other decreases), including graphical and algebraic representations - [Number Pattern Relationships](https://ai.page/c/number-pattern-relationships/index.md): Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules; identify relationships between corresponding terms; form ordered pairs and graph them on a coordinate plane - [Sets & Venn Diagrams](https://ai.page/c/sets-and-venn-diagrams/index.md): Enumerate sets and their unions and intersections systematically using tables, grids, and Venn diagrams to organise and count outcomes ## 3. Geometry and Trigonometry - [3-D shapes (age 11+)](https://ai.page/c/3-d-shapes-age-11/index.md): Use the properties of faces, surfaces, edges, and vertices of 3-D shapes (cubes, cuboids, prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres) to solve problems, including visualising cross-sections - [Properties of triangles and quadrilaterals](https://ai.page/c/properties-of-triangles-and-quadrilaterals/index.md): Derive and illustrate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles using appropriate language, including interior angles, diagonals, symmetry, and relationships between side lengths - [Trigonometry basics](https://ai.page/c/trigonometry-basics/index.md): Use the trigonometric ratios sin, cos, and tan in right-angled triangles to find unknown sides and angles, including setting up the correct ratio for a given problem - [Coordinate Transformations](https://ai.page/c/coordinate-transformations/index.md): Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original ## 4. Algebra and Functions - [Expressions & Equations Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/expressions-and-equations-vocabulary/index.md): Understand and use the concepts and vocabulary of expressions, equations, inequalities, terms, and factors; distinguish between an expression (no equals sign), an equation (equals sign), and an inequality (inequality sign) - [Factorising Expressions](https://ai.page/c/factorising-expressions/index.md): Factorise algebraic expressions by taking out common factors — identify the highest common factor of all terms and write the expression as a product, e.g., 6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3) - [Solving Linear Equations](https://ai.page/c/solving-linear-equations/index.md): Use algebraic methods to solve linear equations in one variable, including equations that require rearrangement, expanding brackets, and collecting terms on both sides; solve equations with rational number coefficients - [Simple formulae](https://ai.page/c/simple-formulae/index.md): Understand and use standard mathematical formulae; rearrange formulae to change the subject, performing inverse operations to isolate a different variable - [Estimating answers (age 13+)](https://ai.page/c/estimating-answers-age-13/index.md): Use graphs of linear and quadratic functions to estimate output values for given inputs, find approximate solutions to equations, and interpret graphical information in real-world contexts ## 5. Statistics and Probability - [The Probability Scale](https://ai.page/c/the-probability-scale/index.md): Understand probability as a measure on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain); use the language of probability including likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible - [Experimental probability](https://ai.page/c/experimental-probability/index.md): Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 18 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
