Year 9 Mathematics Advanced 

TERM 4, 2025

Students will begin the term with Probability. The focus will be on determining the probabilities of outcomes for multistage experiments. These will include both 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.

Finally, students will begin our last topic Non-Linear Relationships. They will graph simple quadratic and exponential relationships using tables of values and graphing applications. This will then give students the ability to identify graphs of parabolas and exponentials from their equations. This knowledge will enable students to apply their skills to quadratic and exponential relationships in real-life contexts.

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