1. Statistics and Probability · Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
- Tree diagrams: Generate theoretical sample spaces for single and combined events using listing, tables, and tree diagrams, and calculate theoretical probabilities as the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of equally likely outcomes
2. Statistics and Probability · Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain p
- Experimental probability: Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability
3. Expressions and Equations · Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct two-step equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the qu
- Solving Linear Equations: 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
4. The Number System · Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division of positive rational numbers to multiply and divide all rational numbers.
- Number Sets & Infinity: Appreciate the infinite nature of the sets of integers, real numbers, and rational numbers; position integers on a number line and distinguish between rational and irrational numbers
- Sign Rules for Multiplication: Multiply and divide with positive and negative integers and rational numbers, understanding the rules for the sign of the product or quotient
5. The Number System · Represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.
- Positive and Negative Numbers: Understand positive and negative numbers as describing quantities with opposite directions or values; use them in context such as temperature, floors in a building, and bank balances
6. Ratios and Proportional Relationships · Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities:
- Proportion Graphs: Represent proportional relationships using double number lines (two parallel number lines aligned at 0) and ratio tables; recognise that equivalent ratios generate straight lines through the origin when graphed
- Ratio Notation and Relationships: Understand that a multiplicative relationship between two quantities can be expressed as a ratio; use ratio notation; simplify ratios
- Proportion: 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
7. Geometry · Investigate the relationship between three-dimensional geometric shapes;
- Angles in triangles (age 11+): Derive and apply formulae for the area of triangles, parallelograms, and trapezia, and for the volume of cuboids and other prisms (including cylinders), connecting each formula to its geometric reasoning
