- AC9M8M06Use Pythagoras’ theorem to solve problems involving the side lengths of right-angled triangles
- AC9M8M07Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios and rates, including financial contexts; formulate problems; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, reviewing the appropriateness of the model
Number
- AC9M8N01Recognise irrational numbers in applied contexts, including square roots and \(π\)
- AC9M8N02Establish and apply the exponent laws with positive integer exponents and the zero-exponent, using exponent notation with numbers
- AC9M8N03Recognise terminating and recurring decimals, using digital tools as appropriate
- AC9M8N04Use the 4 operations with integers and with rational numbers, choosing and using efficient strategies and digital tools where appropriate
- AC9M8N05Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts; formulate problems, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, reviewing the appropriateness of the model
Probability
- AC9M8P01Recognise that complementary events have a combined probability of one; use this relationship to calculate probabilities in applied contexts
- AC9M8P02Determine all possible combinations for 2 events, using two-way tables, tree diagrams and Venn diagrams, and use these to determine probabilities of specific outcomes in practical situations
- AC9M8P03Conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations, using digital tools to determine probabilities for compound events, and describe results
Space
- AC9M8SP01Identify the conditions for congruence and similarity of triangles and explain the conditions for other sets of common shapes to be congruent or similar, including those formed by transformations
- AC9M8SP02Establish properties of quadrilaterals using congruent triangles and angle properties, and solve related problems explaining reasoning
- AC9M8SP03Describe the position and location of objects in 3 dimensions in different ways, including using a three-dimensional coordinate system with the use of dynamic geometric software and other digital tools
- AC9M8SP04Design, create and test algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that identify congruency or similarity of shapes, and describe how the algorithm works
Statistics
- AC9M8ST01Investigate techniques for data collection including census, sampling, experiment and observation, and explain the practicalities and implications of obtaining data through these techniques
- AC9M8ST02Analyse and report on the distribution of data from primary and secondary sources using random and non-random sampling techniques to select and study samples
- AC9M8ST03Compare variations in distributions and proportions obtained from random samples of the same size drawn from a population and recognise the effect of sample size on this variation
- AC9M8ST04Plan and conduct statistical investigations involving samples of a population; use ethical and fair methods to make inferences about the population and report findings, acknowledging uncertainty
