What you'll learn

You continue to develop strong mathematical skills and positive attitudes as you deepen your understanding of integer and rational number systems. You strengthen fluency in mental calculations, written methods, and digital tools, while routinely checking the reasonableness of results in context.

You use exponents and exponent notation to formalise your understanding of natural number representations and make conjectures involving natural numbers, supported by experiments and digital tools.

You recognise, develop, and use algebraic expressions and formulas, following conventions and using appropriate notations and symbols. You interpret and evaluate these expressions through substitution, find unknown values, and solve simple equations using various methods.

You apply mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving rational numbers, ratios, and percentages, carefully choosing representations and strategies, and clearly communicating solutions within context.

You use variables, constants, relations, and functions to represent relationships in real-life data, interpreting key features through rules, tables, and graphs.

You extend your understanding of angles to discover new relationships and apply these in measurement and spatial problem-solving.

You create and use algorithms to classify plane shapes and use tools to construct shapes, including two-dimensional representations of prisms and other objects.

You describe transformations using coordinates in the Cartesian plane.

You apply the statistical investigation process to collect numerical data related to questions of interest, select suitable displays for data distributions, and interpret summary statistics to determine the centre and spread in context.

Finally, you conduct probability simulations and experiments involving chance events, construct sample spaces, observe frequencies, and compare expected, simulated, and experimental results.

Requirements

  • Completion of Year 6 Matheamtics.
  • Good work ethic and ability to ask questions when work isn't understood.
  • Wish to conntinue Mathematics next year at Unit 3 and 4 level.
  • High level of mathematical communication shown.

Why MaffsGuru?

  • Lessons taught in the way I teach my own students
  • Lots of worked examples to show the best way to answer questions.
  • Humour used alongside high quality teaching.
  • Proven results from my own students and others using this resource.

Assesment

Assessment is down to the school to decide. There is no formal assessment at the end of Year 10 which feeds into the VCE examinations. Assessments can take the form of tests, open ended tasks, investigations, projects and/or end of semester examinations.
