Year 10 Mathematics Standard

TERM 4, 2026

We will begin Term 4 with the continuation of Topic 12 – Probability B, where 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.

Next in Topic 13 – Properties of Geometrical Figures A, students will identify and describe the properties of similar figures and solve problems using ratio and scale factors in similar figures. Finding unknown sides in similar polygons using scale factor or proportion will also be looked at. Students will also need to interpret scales on maps, photographs, plans or drawings and apply this to solve problems involving scale drawings.

Finally in Topic 14 – Introduction to Networks, students will examine and describe a graph or network, as well as define a planar graph and apply Euler’s formula for planar graphs. Explaining the concept of Eulerian trails and circuits in the context of the Königsberg bridges problem will also be looked at.

During Term 4, students will complete Task 4 – Yearly Examination which contributes to 40% of the students’ overall assessment for the year.
