Year 10 Mathematics Standard

TERM 3, 2026

We will begin Term 3 with Topic 8 – Financial Mathematics B. Students will solve problems involving compound interest and depreciation, including comparisons between simple interest with compound interest in practical situations.

In Topic 9 – Linear Relationships B, students will build on their knowledge of the cartesian plane. Given two points, they will be able to find the midpoint, gradient and distance of an interval. Recognising and graphing straight lines will include vertical, horizontal and also parallel lines.

Next in Topic 10 – Non-Linear Relationships B, students will graph and examine quadratic and exponential relationships. They will be able to distinguish between linear, quadratic and exponential relationships by examining their graphical representations

Then in Topic 11 – Data Analysis C, students will begin by planning and conducting a statistical inquiry into a question of interest. They will also examine reports of studies in digital media and elsewhere for information on their planning and implementation.

Lastly in Topic 12 – Probability B, students will solve problems involving Venn diagrams and 2-way tables. They will examine conditional statements and identify common mistakes in interpreting the language. Describing mutually and non-mutually exclusive events using specific language and calculate related probabilities, will complete the term.

During Term 3, students will complete Task 3 which contributes to 20% of the students’ overall assessment for the year.
