Learning Programme

Years 9–10

In years 9 and 10, teaching focuses on students’ use of proportional reasoning to transform numerical quantities, measurements, and shapes, including right-angled triangles. They begin to generalise their understanding and application of tables, equations, and graphs, including to explore patterns and the connections between different representations. They extend their understanding of area, perimeter, and volume for a variety of 2D shapes, including circles, and 3D shapes, including prisms. They use data visualisations to investigate, represent, and explain patterns, trends, and variation, and they apply their knowledge to situations involving chance.

The Mathematics and Statistics learning area prepares students with the knowledge and practices they need to access related curriculum subjects in years 11–13, such as Statistics, Mathematics, and Physics. - NZ Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum
