Senior Secondary Curriculum
YEAR 10 MATHEMATICS
NUMBER AND ALGEBRA
Students recognise the connection between simple and compound interest. They solve problems involving linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations and related graphs, with and without the use of digital technology. Students substitute into formulas, find unknown values, manipulate linear algebraic expressions, expand binomial expressions and factorise simple quadratic expressions, with and without the use of digital technology. They represent linear and other functions numerically, graphically and algebraically, and use them to model situations and solve practical problems.
MEASUREMENT AND GEOMETRY
Students solve and explain surface area and volume problems relating to composite solids. They use parallel and perpendicular lines, angle and triangle properties, similarity, trigonometry and congruence to solve practical problems and develop proofs involving lengths, angles and areas in plane shapes. They use digital technology to construct and manipulate geometric shapes and objects, and explore symmetry and pattern in two dimensions.
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
Students compare univariate data sets by referring to summary statistics and the shape of their displays. They describe bivariate data where the independent variable is time and use scatter - plots generated by digital technology to investigate relationships between two continuous variables. Students evaluate the use of statistics in the media. They list outcomes for multi - step chance experiments involving independent and dependent events, and assign probabilities for these experiments.
