- AC9M6A01Recognise and use rules that generate visually growing patterns and number patterns involving rational numbers
- AC9M6A02Find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations
- AC9M6A03Create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns
Measurement
- AC9M6M01Convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem
- AC9M6M02Establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems
- AC9M6M03Interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the duration of events and journeys
- AC9M6M04Identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning
Number
- AC9M6N01Recognise situations, including financial contexts, that use integers; locate and represent integers on a number line and as coordinates on the Cartesian plane
- AC9M6N02Identify and describe the properties of prime, composite and square numbers and use these properties to solve problems and simplify calculations
- AC9M6N03Apply knowledge of equivalence to compare, order and represent common fractions including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order
- AC9M6N04Apply knowledge of place value to add and subtract decimals, using digital tools where appropriate; use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers
- AC9M6N05Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of equivalent fractions
- AC9M6N06Multiply and divide decimals by multiples of powers of 10 without a calculator, applying knowledge of place value and proficiency with multiplication facts; using estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers
- AC9M6N07Solve problems that require finding a familiar fraction, decimal or percentage of a quantity, including percentage discounts, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate
- AC9M6N08Approximate numerical solutions to problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts, using appropriate estimation strategies
- AC9M6N09Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies, and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying the choices made
Probability
- AC9M6P01Recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0 – 1 or 0% – 100% and use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals
- AC9M6P02Conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
Space
- AC9M6SP01Compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to right prisms
- AC9M6SP02Locate points in the 4 quadrants of a Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane
- AC9M6SP03Recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
Statistics
- AC9M6ST01Interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape
- AC9M6ST02Identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media; discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions
- AC9M6ST03Plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation
