Problem solving with similarity and Pythagoras' theorem

In this unit, pupils continued to build on their understanding of congruence and similarity with right-angled triangles. In the future unit, similarity is used to extend a right-angled triangle in the unit circle to any other right-angled triangle.

In the prior unit, pupils explored the effects of different transformations and whether the transformed shape was congruent or similar to the original shape. This is built on in this unit where pupils formalise the criteria for determining congruence in triangles and study rotational symmetry.

This unit explores the concepts of congruence and similarity, and ways to prove or disprove similarity between shapes. We then explore further properties of triangles with Pythagoras' Theorem.

Problem solving with possible outcomes

In this unit, pupils learn techniques for systematically listing all of the possible outcomes for both one event and two events. In the future unit, pupils use lists of outcomes to find theoretical probabilities

In this unit, pupils find all the factors of a number systematically and they understand that systematic listing is helpful in organising their work. The idea of being systematic is built on in this unit as pupils work to identify all possible outcomes

This unit introduces and explores the concept of liklihood as a relative measure, and demonstrates multiple ways to represent likelihood such as Venn diagrams, tree diagrams and two-way tables.

Problem solving with theoretical probability

In the future unit, pupils use their knowledge of calculating theoretical probabilities and extend this understanding to calculating conditional probabilities using all of the representations encountered in this unit.

In the prior unit, pupils learnt techniques for systematically listing all of the possible outcomes for both one event and two events. In this unit, pupils use lists of outcomes to find theoretical probabilities. 

In this unit we build upon the concept of likelihood to work more mathematically with more measurable probability using fraction and decimal representations to both interpret and calculate. We revisit and develop ways to represent and compare probabilities.

In the sequences unit, pupils learnt how to graphically represent an arithmetic sequence. In this unit, pupils now consider geometric sequences and how these can be represented graphically.

In this unit we explore geometric and special number sequences like the Fibonacci sequence. We develop strategies to recognise types of sequence and continue them.

In this unit, pupils use the distributive law to find the product of two binomials. In algebraic manipulation, pupils use apply this knowledge in order to factorise quadratics.

In the prior unit, pupils learnt how to rearrange an equation to find a specific value that satisfied the equation. In expressions and formulae, pupils use their understanding of rearrangement to change the subject of a formula.

This unit develops pupil understanding of formulae and how to rearrange them. Pupils will learn how to recognise and manipulate binomials and learn to recognise the difference of two squares.

In this unit, pupils were introduced to the trigonometric ratios and developed the skills to ascertain which ratio would be appropriate for a given problem. In the future unit, pupils are introduced to a variety of situations where this knowledge is required, such as 3-D problems and elevation/depression.

In the prior unit, pupils continued to build on their understanding of congruence and similarity with right-angled triangles. In this unit, similarity is used to extend a right-angled triangle in the unit circle to any other right-angled triangle.

In this unit pupils learn how to recognise the relationship between the unit circle and the trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine and tangent. Pupils then apply this knowledge to solve trigonometric problems.

Problem solving with standard form

The conditions for standard form mean that pupils have explored how different powers of 10 can be written. In this unit, this understanding is generalised and the index laws formalised. 

In the prior unit, pupils learnt how to factorise multiples of 10 in order to simplify calculations. This understanding is built on in this unit as values are converted to meet the conditions for standard form. 

In this unit pupils learn to recognise, interpret and write in standard form. Pupils then extend this knowledge so that they can order numbers written in standard form.

In this unit pupils draw, interpret and utilise linear graphs to solve problems. This knowledge is further extended to look at intersecting graphs.
