Year 10 Mathematics Standard

TERM 4, 2025

Students will begin the term with Probability. They will spend time on independent and dependent events, also understanding the difference between mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events. The use of set notation, along with conditional statements will be reinforced through Venn diagrams and 2-way tables. Combining these skills will enable students to solve probability problems.

Next topic will be Properties of Geometrical Figures. Students will investigate similar figures and how scale factors can be determined. Finding unknown sides will enable students to solve problems involving scale drawings.

Finally, students will begin our last topic Introduction to Networks. They will use specific terminology to identify a vertex, edge and degree, before investigating types of networks, such as trail, circuit, path and cycle. Planar and non-planar graphs will be looked at, including the application of Euler's formula. 

During Term 4, students will complete Task 4 which contributes 40% of the student's overall assessment for the year.

Students will also complete their 2nd RoSA test which will contribute to 50% of their external grade.
