TERM 3, 2025

Angles, Geometry and Pythagoras' Theorem

Students will learn the fundamental principles of geometry. They will apply the language, notation, and conventions of geometry, identifying and describing various angle relationships, including those at a point and on parallel lines. Through practical problem-solving exercises, students will develop reasoning skills to solve numerical problems involving angles. The unit will also cover the classification of triangles and quadrilaterals based on their side and angle properties, allowing students to apply these properties in a variety of geometric scenarios. Additionally, students will explore and understand Pythagoras' theorem, applying it to solve problems and gaining a deeper insight into the mathematical relationships within triangles.

Linear Relationships

By the end of the unit students should be able to navigate the Cartesian plane with confidence in this unit, mastering the skills to plot and identify points as well as linear relationships. Through hands-on activities, they will develop the ability to solve linear equations using graphical techniques, providing a visual and analytical approach to understanding mathematical relationships. By the end of the unit, students will be well-equipped to apply these graphical tools to solve linear equations, enhancing their problem-solving capabilities and geometric intuition.

Length, Area and Volume

Students will start with problem-solving involving the perimeter of various quadrilaterals and composite figures. They will then delve into the relationships within circles and progress to using formulas for calculating the area of diverse shapes, including rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses, kites, circles, and sectors. Additionally, students will gain a spatial understanding of prisms and related solids, applying formulas to find their volumes and honing the ability to choose and convert appropriate units for measurements in area, volume, and capacity. This unit will provide students with practical tools for solving a range of mathematical problems.
