Year 10 General Mathematics builds on the mathematical skills and practice undertaken in Year 9 with content covering the six strands: Number, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics and Probability. Within each content strand students aim to demonstrate proficiency in Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning.
Core Units of Study:
- Linear Algebra
- Linear Functions
- Measurement
- Simultaneous Equations
- Trigonometry
- Networking
- Financial Mathematics
- Univariate Data
- Bivariate Data
Learning Standards:
- The solution of problems involving linear equations
- The ability to make the connections between algebraic and graphical representations of relations
- Finding unknown values after substitution into formulae
- Performing the four operations with simple algebraic fractions
- Solving surface area and volume problems relating to composite solids
- Using trigonometry to calculate unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles
- Solving right-angled triangle problems involving direction and angles of elevation and depression
- Solving linear simultaneous equations using algebraic and graphical techniques including using digital technology
- Comparison of data sets by referring to the shapes of the various data displays.
- Determining quartiles and interquartile range
- Constructing and interpreting box-plots and using them to compare data sets
- Describing bivariate data where the independent variable is time
- Describing statistical relationships between two continuous variables
- The evaluation of statistical reports
- Ability to list outcomes for multi-step chance experiments and assign probabilities for these experiments
- The ability to connect the compound interest formula to repeated applications of simple interest using appropriate digital technologies.
ASSESSMENT
