1. High School Advanced Topics · Probability: Students will interpret and apply concepts of probability.
- The Probability Scale: 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
2. High School Advanced Topics · Analyze Data and Interpret Results: Students will represent and analyze the data and interpret the results.
- Estimating answers (age 13+): 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
3. High School Advanced Topics · Logic and Proof: Students will use geometric definitions and theorems to reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- Properties of triangles and quadrilaterals: Derive and illustrate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles using appropriate language, including interior angles, diagonals, symmetry, and relationships between side lengths
4. High School Advanced Topics · Coordinate Geometry and Transformations: Students will demonstrate and represent location, orientation, and relationships on the coordinate plane.
- Coordinate Transformations: 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

7. High School Advanced Topics · Algebraic Relationships: Students will demonstrate and represent relationships with functions.
- Algebraic Transformations: 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
- Linear Function Graphs: Recognise that a linear function produces a straight-line graph, understand the relationship between an equation of the form y = mx + c and its graphical representation, and interpret gradient and y-intercept in context
8. High School Advanced Topics · Interpretation and Sense Making: Students will reason abstractly and quantitatively using units to solve problems and interpret results in context.
- Compound Units: Use compound units such as speed (distance ÷ time), unit pricing (cost ÷ quantity), and density (mass ÷ volume); solve problems involving compound units
9. High School Advanced Topics · Sets and Operations: Students will compare and contrast subsets and perform operations with subsets of the complex number system to reason and to solve problems.

10. High School · Analyze Data and Interpret Results: Students will represent and analyze the data and interpret the results.
- Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+): Construct and interpret frequency tables, bar charts, pie charts, pictograms, and vertical line charts for both categorical and grouped numerical data, choosing appropriate representations for the data type
- Comparing measurements: Describe, interpret, and compare distributions of a single variable using appropriate measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and spread (range), including the effect of outliers
- Scatter Graphs & Correlation: Describe simple mathematical relationships between two variables using scatter graphs, identify positive, negative, or no correlation, and use a line of best fit to make predictions
